The present invention relates to a novel block copolymer of structure 1,
wherein, A- is a block polymer chain, B is a block polymer chain,
wherein, A- and B- are chemically different, covalently connected polymer chains, which are phase separable and the moiety X(Y(Z)
b

a
is a junction group, which comprises a surface active pendant moiety Y(Z)
b
wherein:
a is an integer from 1 to 4 denoting the number of surface active pendant moieties Y(Z)
b
on X,
b is an integer from 1 to 5 denoting the number of Z moieties on the linking moiety Y,
X is a linking group between the A polymer block, the B polymer block and the moiety Y,
Y is a linking group or a direct valence bond between X and Z; and
Z is a moiety independently selected from, a fluorine containing moiety, a Si
