The self-assembly behavior of multi-responsive multiblock copolymers in solution and in thin film geometry is investigated. The effect of various interactions as well as external stimuli, namely temperature and pH, on the self-assembly behavior are systematically probed. A setup for in situ swelling experiments on polymer films is designed, and a strategy to calculate and fit two-dimensional grazing-incidence small-angle X-ray scattering (GISAXS) patterns from nanostructured polymer films is developed.
