The formation of superlattices in blends of a series of asymmetric BSV triblock terpolymers and symmetric SV or VC diblock copolymers is investigated with S being polystyrene, B being poly(1,2‐butadiene), V being poly(2‐vinylpyridine), and C being poly(cyclohexyl methacrylate). All of these triblock terpolymers and diblock copolymers by themselves self‐assemble into lamellae. Apart from various core shell morphologies, in these blends some new unexpected superstructures were obtained.A TEM micrograph of a 50/50 blend of B 30 S 58 V 12 84with S 45 V 55 76 .
