Fig. 4: Representative images of ROPI-CDSA morphologies.

From: Ring-opening polymerization-induced crystallization-driven self-assembly of poly-L-lactide-block-polyethylene glycol block copolymers (ROPI-CDSA)

Fig. 4

Selected cryo-TEM (a–j) and SEM (k–l) images for representative morphologies of the phase diagram, a–c is for 1D systems, d–h are for 2D systems, i–l are for 3D systems. Images are from the following samples: a, b: 7, c: 5, d, e: 9, f: 6, g, h: 13, i: 16, j: 19, k, l: 17. (See Table 1 for a sample guide). The data show that ROPI-CDSA can be used to form block copolymer materials with a wide range of morphologies, dimensions, and length scales.
