- Abstract:
- The influence of surface morphologies on the properties
of materials is of essential importance and is therefore
a widely discussed topic. In the present contribution,
the properties of a set of diblock copoly(2-oxazoline)s are
analyzed in terms of their individual morphologies, which
have been investigated with tapping-mode SFM. This collection
of diblock copolymers consists of 12 diblock copolymers
and four corresponding homopolymers, representing a complete
16-membered library of (co-) poly(2-oxazoline)s,
composed of four differently substituted 2-oxazoline monomers.
For the investigated set of compounds, a correlation
between the morphologies of the spin-coated films and their
surface energies could be determined.
