The real‐time early‐stage evolution of perpendicular lamellae in a high‐ χ block copolymer (PMAPOSS‐ b ‐PTFEMA) thin film is revealed using combinatorial studies including in situ atomic force microscopy (AFM). In article number 1801401 , Alvin Chandra, Teruaki Hayakawa, and co‐workers directly document the spinodal decomposition and development of short‐range lamellae oriented randomly in three‐dimensions upon self‐assembly.
