To date, amphiphilic block copolymers (BCPs) containing poly(vinylidene fluoride-co-hexafluoropropene) (P(VDF-co-HFP)) copolymers are rare. At moderate content of HFP, this fluorocopolymer remains semicrystalline and is able to crystallize. Amphiphilic BCPs, containing a P(VDF-co-HFP) segment could, thus be appealing for the preparation of self-assembled block copolymer morphologies through crystallization-driven self-assembly (CDSA) in selective solvents. Here the synthesis, characterization by 1H and 19F NMR spectroscopies, GPC, TGA, DSC, and XRD; and the self-assembly behavior of a P(VDF-co-HFP)-b-PEG-b-P(VDF-co-HFP) triblock copolymer were studied. The well-defined ABA amphiphilic fluorinated triblock copolymer was self-assembled into nano-objects by varying a series of key parameters such as the solvent and the non -solvent, the self-assembly protocols, and the temperature. A large range of morphologies such as spherical, square, rectangular, fiber-like, and platelet structures with sizes ranging from a few nanometers to micrometers was obtained depending on the self-assembly protocols and solvents systems used. The temperature-induced crystallization-driven self-assembly (TI-CDSA) protocol allowed some control over the shape and size of some of the morphologies.

AbstractMulticompartment disks with bumpy edges could be synthesized controllably by dissolving a linear ABC amphiphilic triblock copolymer of polystyrene-b-polybutadiene-b-poly (2-vinylpridine) (PS440-b-PBd1020-b-P2VP114) in selective solvent mixtures of toluene and methanol. The disk size was controllable by the initial copolymer concentration. Diameter of the disks increased with the increase of the copolymer concentration. Interestingly, through adding a homo-PS to the system morphological transition took place from multicompartment disk with bumpy edges to sphere, and to hollow sphere with bumpy surfaces. Furthermore, the diameters of the hollow spheres increased with the increase of the homo-PS content, whereas the diameters of the hollows remained unchanged. Moreover, the PB block could be cross-linked by UV irradiation, stabilizing the preformed structure.
