  • Publication number: 20220298284
    Abstract: Proposed are a core-satellite micelle containing a tetra-block copolymer and a preparation method thereof. The core-satellite micelle includes a core, a shell surrounding the core, and a plurality of satellite domains positioned inside the shell. The core-satellite micelle contains a tetra-block copolymer represented by Structural Formula 1 below. The shell includes a first-monomer first block A1 and a first-monomer second block A2, and the satellite domain includes a second-monomer first block B1 and a second-monomer second block B2. The core-satellite micelle is foiled through self-assembly of the tetra-block copolymer, thereby having a larger interfacial contact area than existing block-copolymer micelles. Therefore, the core-satellite micelle can be used in next-generation nanotechnology applications such as drug delivery systems, porous catalyst materials, and sensors.

  • Publication number: 20110120970
    Abstract: Disclosed herein is a method of producing an antireflection thin film using a block copolymer and an antireflection thin film prepared by the method. Specifically, the present invention relates to a method of producing a nanoporous antireflection film by spin-coating using a block copolymer solution and subsequent processing and a preparation by the method. The antireflection film of the present invention is prepared by coating a substrate with a block copolymer and selectively removing at least one block in the coated block copolymer to produce a nanoporous thin film with a pore size of 5 to 100 nm. When the thin film is applied to a substrate, an antireflection substrate which has a very low reflectance within a broad range of wavelength can be prepared.
