The “knitting pattern” morphology was obtained via blending of two polystyrene‐ block ‐polybutadiene‐ block ‐poly(methyl methacrylate) triblock copolymers. This demonstrates that blending of block copolymers is a useful way to design periodic superstructures by taking advantage of the self‐assembling nature of microphase separated block copolymers.
