Block copolymers are well known to undergo micro-phase separation. Typical domain sizes range from a few to about 100 nanometers. With use of OPV{sub n-}PEG{sub m} diblock copolymers, long nanofiber, short nanorod, and lamella morphologies have been observed. OPV is oligo(phenylenevinylene) and PEG is poly(ethyleneglycol). The OPV segment is photoluminescent as well as electroluminescent. The micrometer long OPV{sub 13-}PEG{sub 45} nanofiber consists of OPV{sub 13} inner core with radius of 5.2 nm, and PEG{sub 45} outer shell with overall fiber radius of 7.9 nm. The nanorod has similar core-shell composition but with much shorter length of {approx}100 nm. Lamella morphology consists of alternating OPV and PEG layers. The structural characterization and physical properties of these nanostructured materials and their implication are summarized.
