Abstract

A method to control both the nucleation and growth of SiO2 to form nanopatterns width in an oil phase was investigated. The nucleated SiO2 self-controlled the minimum interfacial energy and was found to grow at a direction normal to the surface. The results showed that the resulting SiO2 could be grown on protonated poly(styrene-b-4-vinylpyridine) blocks up to a height of 8 nm by 60 nm.
