Term: microdomain morphology
https://doi.org/10.1351/goldbook.MT07303

Definition:
Morphology consisting of phase microdomains.

Notes:
0) Microdomain morphologies are usually observed in @B00682@, graft, and segmented copolymers.
1) The type of @MT07285-2@ observed depends upon the relative abundance of the different types of structural units and the conditions for the generation of the @MT07285-2@. The most commonly observed morphologies are spheres, cylinders, and lamellae.
