Abstract

Block copolymers Liquid crystalline polymers Liquid crystals Self assembly
Liquid crystalline block copolymers have been extensively investigated in the past two decades. Liquid crystals and block copolymers possess different ordering length scales. When they are chemically or physically incorporated in one materials systems such as liquid crystalline block copolymers, hierarchically ordered structures can be achieved with the ordering scales ranging from a few to a few tens nanometers. In this chapter, we will focus on the structure and assembly of such hierarchical systems in bulk states and the competition of the two different ordering processes.
