Abstract

Abstract : We fabricate a macroscopic 2D network of block copolymer cylindrical micelles based on transfer printing onto a solid substrate and thermal welding. Abstract : A novel and facile approach to fabricating well-organized macroscopic 2D networks of cylindrical micelles is reported, based on transfer printing and thermal welding of aligned supramolecular micelles of block copolymers. This versatile approach provides a new strategy for fabricating functional 2D superstructures with a higher level of order.
