摘要

This review highlights the structural diversity of emerged unconventional 2D morphologies including the bottom-up self-assembly of block molecules such as block copolymers

liquid crystals

giant molecules

etc.

together with the state-of-the-art top-down nanofabrication technologies using direct self-assembly of block copolymers.

Abstract

This review summarizes the self-assembly of block molecules forming unconventional two-dimensional (2D) periodic nanopatterns. Especially

we emphasize the structural evolution from simple columnar phases to complex 2D tiling morphologies in soft materials including block copolymers

liquid crystals

giant molecules

etc

. Then

the state-of-the-art nanofabrication technologies for making sophisticated nanostructures with specific functions

via

combining both bottom-up assembly and top-down lithography-based methods are discussed

highlighting the use of directed self-assembly processes. Finally

we provide our perspective on this area. By further increasing the complexity of block molecules and the designability of lithography

low-dimensional ordered morphologies will be particularly promising for further application in nanotechnology.
