The morphologies are characterized by transmission electron microscopy. Blends with similar morphologies as known from linear triblock terpolymers are found, like core-shell structures based on cylinders or gyroids. Other blends show very distorted morphologies, or morphologies similar to the ones found for pure 3-miktoarm star terpolymers. While attractive interactions between blocks of the two species enhance the formation of common superlattices, blends with too large diblock copolymers tend to macrophase-separate.
