This thesis investigates self-assembly and microphase separation induced by competitive hydrogen bonding in A-b-BC diblock copolymer/homopolymer systems. A series of ordered and disordered morphologies including lamellae, hexagonal cylinders, wormlike microdomains and hierarchical structures were observed. The morphological transitions are correlated with hydrogen bonding interactions in terms of the association constants
