31. The exception is a polystyrene- b -poly(4-vinylpyridine) (PS- b -P4VP) monolayer studied by Nagano and Seki. They succeeded to form hierarchical phase separation of the PS- b -P4VP with a P4VP monolayer on which regular PS domains deposited, by cospreading a polar liquid crystal molecule, 4'-pentyl-4- cyanobiphenyl (5CB) with the PS- b -4VP on a water surface. The 5CB behaved as a "molecular solvent", and at a low surface pressure, it dissolved the PS- b -P4VP into a miscible state. Upon compression, the PS- b -P4VP underwent the hierarchical phase separation from the miscible state. See: Nagano, S.; Matsushita, Y.; Ohmuma, Y.; Shinma, S.; Seki, T. Langmuir 2006, 22, 5233-5236
