Recent advances in the synthesis of block copolymers have enabled the creation of smart and functional designer polymers possessing specific intermolecular interactions. In addition to various applications, their unique physicochemical properties, distinguished from conventional block copolymers, are attracting significant attention from polymer and material scientists. We herein investigate the structure-property relationship of block copolymers having long-range interactions with a focus on how specific interactions such as Coulombic and hydrogen bonding interactions affect the molecular arrangements of block copolymers on the nanometer and molecular scales. Such specific interactions were enabled by two approaches: covalent tethering of functional moieties and physical embedment of high dipolar additives. Our goals in functional block copolymers research are the achievements of high-fidelity nanoscale self-assembled structures and advanced functionality. |
