A material and an associated method of formation. A self-assembling block
copolymer that includes a first block species and a second block species
respectively characterized by a volume fraction of F.sub.1 and F.sub.2
with respect to the self-assembling block copolymer is provided. At least
one crosslinkable polymer that is miscible with the second block species
is provided. The self-assembling block copolymer and the at least one
crosslinkable polymer are combined to form a mixture. The mixture having
a volume fraction, F.sub.3, of the crosslinkable polymer, a volume
fraction, F.sub.1A, of the first block species, and a volume fraction,
F.sub.2A, of the second block species is formed. A material having a
predefined morphology where the sum of F.sub.2A and F.sub.3 were
preselected is formed.
