Sub-5 nm structured films by hydrogen bonded siloxane liquid crystals and block copolymers

Polymeric supramolecules were prepared using hydrogen-bonding oligo(dimethylsiloxane)-based liquid crystals and poly(4-vinylpyridine) homopolymer or poly(styrene)-b-poly(4-vinylpyridine) block copolymer. These materials form glassy, hybrid organic/inorganic thin films with sub-5 nm features.
