Popis: Thin films of comb-shaped supramolecules have been used to create arrays of spatially separated ordered nanorods with a polystyrene core and a poly(4-vinyl pyridine) corona. Room temperature pulsed laser deposition of a uniform layer of lead titanate on top of these nanorod arrays and Subsequent heating to 565 degrees C, far above the degradation temperature of the block copolymer nanorods, resulted in ordered arrays of ferroelectric lead titanate nanoparticles, due to the evaporation of the polymer rods and the SrTiO(3) substrate-nucleated crystallization of the lead titanate. The spacing in between the ordered cylinders of the template and the nonselective nature of the coating procedure sets the method apart from conventional block copolymer templating techniques involving parallel cylindrical structures. Given the nonselective nature of the coating method, this template procedure is applicable for a large variety of inorganics.
