Bulk Microphase Segregation of an Asymmetric Organometallic-Inorganic Diblock Copolymer: A Remarkable Example of Concentric Cylinders [J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2003, 125, 6010-6011]. Jose Raez, Yuanming Zhang, Lan Cao, Srebri Petrov, Kurt Erlacher, Ulrich Wiesner,* Ian Manners,* and Mitchell A. Winnik* Page 6010. Gido et al. have previously reported the formation core-shell cylinders in solvent-cast films of poly(styrene-b1,3-cyclohexadiene) (PS-b-PCHD) with a volume fraction of PCHD of ca. 0.37. Although our Communication focuses on an asymmetric block copolymer where the volume fraction of the minor phase forming the shell is 0.20, they were the first to report this type of morphology for a diblock copolymer in the bulk state. We regret not citing this reference [Macromolecules 1999, 32, 3216-3226].
