A simple route is demonstrated to fabricate highly ordered and oriented arrays of PS‐ b ‐PEO block copolymer microdomains on inexpensive, flexible polymeric substrates where the lateral ordering is the same as that seen on hard master surfaces. The block copolymer thin films well‐developed onto flexible substrates can be used as templates or scaffolds to fabricate a wide range of nanostructured materials for inexpensive, flexible devices.
