We characterize the phase behavior of a series of polystyrene−poly(2-vinylpyridine) diblock copolymers (Mw ∼ 20 000 g/mol) using dynamic mechanical spectroscopy, transmission electron microscopy, small-angle neutron scattering, and small-angle X-ray scattering. Measurements on symmetric diblocks (fPS = 0.5) permit us to estimate the Flory−Huggins interaction parameter (χ) for this system, which we use to place our findings on a diagram. Four ordered morphologies (lamellae, hexagonally perforated layers, bicontinuous cubic/gyroid, and hexagonally packed cylinders) are found at compositions ranging from 35 to 70 vol % polystyrene. An order−order transition separates the hexagonally perforated layer and Ia3d/gyroid phases at 38 vol % styrene. Studies of shear-oriented material indicate that the cubic microstructure does not appear to grow with a preferred orientation from the layered phase, in contrast to recent findings in other diblock systems. The occurrence of complex phases at compositions between thos...
