Abstract
Disclosed herein is a graft block copolymer comprising a first block polymer; the first block polymer comprising a backbone polymer and a first graft polymer; where the first graft polymer comprises a surface energy reducing moiety that comprises a halocarbon moiety, a silicon containing moiety, or a combination of a halocarbon moiety and a silicon containing moiety; a second block polymer; the second block polymer being covalently bonded to the first block; wherein the second block comprises the backbone polymer and a second graft polymer; where the second graft polymer comprises a functional group that is operative to undergo acid-catalyzed deprotection causing a change of solubility of the graft block copolymer in a developer solvent.
