Abstract

By combining the merits of traditional template-assisted methods for polymer nanostructure fabrication, we demonstrate an immersion crystallization process that combines features of polymer crystallization and template removal simultaneously. Well-aligned poly(vinylidene fluoride-trifluoroethylene) copolymer nanorod arrays are prepared for the first time via this simple and convenient new method.
