6-di-O-isopropylidene-D-glucofuranose (IGVE) and isobutyl VE (IBVE ) andsubsequent deprotection. The precursor block copolymers had a narrow molecular weight distribution(Mw/Mn~1.1) and a controlled segmental composition. The solubility characteristics of the amphiphilic copolymer depended strongly on composition.Thier solvent-cast thin films were examined
under a transmission electron microscope
and could be seen to exhibit various microphase-separated surface morphologies such as spheres
cylinders
and lamellae
depending on composition.The amphiphilic copolymers with the appropriate segmental composition were found to form a stable monolayer at the air-water interface
which was successfully transferred onto a substrate by the Langmuir-Blodgett(LB) technique.The layered structure of the built-up LB films was controlled by blending the homopolymer.
