Subproject A2:Structure Formation in Block Copolymer Solutions under Electric FieldsProf. Alexander Böker (Physical Chemistry II) This project deals with the interaction of external electric fields with the microdomains of block copolymers in bulk and thin films. For this purpose, we synthesize appropriate model systems and characterize them with respect to their behavior in external electric fields in two and three dimensions.In particular, the influence of the elctric field on the phase behavior of the respective block copolymers and the shift in ODT will be investigated using birefringence and SAXS measurements. |
