The behavior of dual thermo-responsive diblock copolymer (DBC) thin films in changing environmental conditions is investigated. The DBCs consist of a zwitterionic poly(sulfobetaine) (PSB) and a nonionic poly(acrylamide) (PAM) block. Systematically studies are performed that investigate, how external stimuli, including temperature, the composition of the surrounding vapor, and the salt content within the films, affect the thin-film behavior, using mainly neutron scattering techniques and infrared spectroscopy.      «
