abstract = {A diblock copolymer of crystalline polyethylene (PE) and
amorphous poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA), PE69-b-PMMA92,
was synthesized; this polymer is thermally stable up to 270
°C. The morphological structures of thermally annealed
nanoscale thin films of the copolymer were investigated in
detail at various temperatures by using in-situ grazing
incidence X-ray scattering (GIXS) with a synchrotron
radiation source. Quantitative GIXS analysis found that the
PE and PMMA blocks undergo phase separation to produce a
vertically oriented hexagonal PE cylinder structure in the
PMMA matrix that is very stable up to around 100 °C (which
is the onset temperature of PE crystal melting and PMMA
glass transition); over the range 100–200 °C, slight
variations with temperature in the cylinders’ dimensions
and orientation were observed. Furthermore, the PE block
chains of the cylinder phase crystallize and undergo crystal
growth along the cylinders’ long axes; however, these
lamellar crystals do not stack properly because of the
limited space along the cylinders’ short axes. As a
result, the overall crystallinity is very low. The
crystallization of the PE block chains in the diblock
copolymer thin film is severely restricted in the diblock
architecture by the confinement effects of the limited
cylinder space and the anchoring of one end of the PE chain
to the cylindrical wall interface. Surprisingly, however, in
a nanoscale thin film the PE homopolymer forms a highly
ordered lamellar structure; the lamellae are well stacked
along the out-of-plane of the film, even though the
crystallization is confined by the air and substrate
interfaces. This well-ordered and oriented lamellar
structural morphology does not arise in melt-crystallized PE
bulk specimens.},
