Polymeric thin films have been prepared by solventless processes that are particularly suitable for building block copolymers into multilayer films (see Figure for an optical image of a two‐layer film, scale bar = 50 μm). Using this method, the detrimental effects that a solvent may sometimes have when preparing a film can be avoided.
