We demonstrate the self-assembly through fluorophilic interactions of a blend of perfluorocarbon (RF) end-functionalized polystyrene and the corresponding RF-polybutylmethacrylate into optically transparent materials that retain domain characteristics typical of the component polymers but show well-defined lamellar nanostructured morphologies that qualitatively resemble that of the corresponding block copolymers.
