Abstract

Thin film knitting pattern from a miktoarm star terpolymer is demonstrated. Such structures have been predicted but not observed in bulk or thin film form. The knitting pattern exhibits well organized periodic structures consisting of undulating lamellae and alternating cylinders, with well-defined defects that result in sharp 90° bends and T junctions.
