Description
The rapid generation of nanopatterned surfaces using thin films of the amorphous diblock copolymer poly(styrene‐b‐ferrocenylethylmethylsilane) (PS‐b‐PFS) is reported. Spontaneous self‐assembly into vertically oriented cylinders of PFS in a PS matrix is observed on a variety of substrates by spin or dip coating, irrespective of the substrate surface polarity. Pyrolysis of the films affords arrays of 20 nm Fe‐containing ceramic nanoparticles, (see Figure, AFM, 4 μm2 scan area).
