Block copolymers exhibit regularly patterned structures induced by microphase separation. Here we present a method for preparing various particulate silica (SiO2) nanostructures by controlling the microphase separation of block copolymers. In this method, siloxane, a SiO2 precursor, is adsorbed onto poly(4-vinylpyridine) blocks of polystyrene-block-poly(4-vinylpyridine) in solvent mixtures. After siloxane/polymer complexes are coprecipitated via further siloxane polycondensation, the resulting precipitates are heated to remove the polymer. The results of scanning electron microscopy revealed that SiO2 formed various structures including cylindrical, spherical, and lamellar. Different SiO2 nanostructures formed via the microphase separation of siloxane/polymer complexes are prepared simply by varying solvent mixtures without changing the polymer chain. The structural change is interpreted in terms of polymer-solvent interactions and volume fractions in siloxane/polymer complexes.
