We present a dissipative particle dynamics simulation study on nanostructure formation of symmetric and asymmetric diblock copolymers confined between planar surfaces. We consider symmetric and slightly asymmetric diblock copolymers that form lamellar nanostructures in the bulk, and highly asymmetric diblock copolymers that form cylindrical nanostructures in the bulk. The formation of the diblock copolymer nanostructures confined between the planar surfaces is investigated and characterized by varying the separation width and the strength of the interaction between the surfaces and the diblock copolymers.
