Abstract

Summary: The influence of surface morphologies on the properties of materials is of essential importance and is therefore a widely discussed topic. In the present contribution, the properties of a set of diblock copoly(2‐oxazoline)s are analyzed in terms of their individual morphologies, which have been investigated with tapping‐mode SFM. This collection of diblock copolymers consists of 12 diblock copolymers and four corresponding homopolymers, representing a complete 16‐membered library of (co‐) poly(2‐oxazoline)s, composed of four differently substituted 2‐oxazoline monomers. For the investigated set of compounds, a correlation between the morphologies of the spin‐coated films and their surface energies could be determined.
