26. The lamellar spacing of the ternary block copolymer-homopolymer blends can be controlled over a wide range of values by changing the volume fraction of homopolymer. Little is known about their behavior in the form of thin films, but previous studies of phase diagrams and morphology in the bulk (34, 35) provide useful insights.
