A long-range ordered lamellae-within-lamellae hierarchical structure is reported for the first time through the directed self-assembly of supramolecular polymer-surfactant thin films on chemical patterns with density multiplication. The coassembly of supramolecular system with gold nanoparticles is further achieved to create a hybrid material with well-organized nanoparticle arrays, expanding the palette of morphologies and structures available for nanoscale fabrication.
