We investigated laser interference ablation
of block copolymer supramolecular assemblies. Supramolecular assemblies
(PS-b-P4VP(AzoR)) are fabricated by hydrogen-bonding azobenzene derivatives
(AzoR) to poly(4-vinyl pyridine) blocks of polystyrene-block-poly(4-vinyl
pyridine) (PS-b-P4VP). PS-b-P4VP(AzoR) forms phase separated nanostructures
with a period of ~75-105 nm. A second length scale structure with a period of 2
μm is fabricated on phase separated PS-b-P4VP(AzoR) by laser interference
ablation. Both the concentration and the substituent of AzoR in PS-b-P4VP(AzoR)
affect the laser ablation process. The laser ablation threshold of
PS-b-P4VP(AzoR) decreases as the concentration of AzoR increases. In
PS-b-P4VP(AzoR) with different substituents (R = CN, H, and CH3),
ablation thresholds follow the trend: PS-b-P4VP(AzoCN) < PS-b-P4VP(AzoCH3)
< PS-b-P4VP(AzoH). This result indicates that the electron donor group (CH3)
and the electron acceptor group (CN) can lower the ablation threshold of
PS-b-P4VP(AzoR).
