Block copolymers have been investigated for fabricating functional nanomaterials due to their properties of self-assembly. We prepared polystyrene-b-poly(2-vinyl pyridine) (PS-b-P2VP) lamellar films which is hydrophobic block-hydrophilic polyelectrolyte block polymer have 57 kg/mol-b-57 kg/mol. The lamellar stacks are obtained by exposing the spin coated film under chloroform. The P2VP blocks were then quaternized and crosslinked to various extents using 5wt% of iodomethane. This study shows that the total film thicknesses change the absorbance band by affecting the thickness of layers consisting of PS-b-P2VP photonic crystals.
