Abstract Highly ordered microphase separated films with hexagonally arranged nanocylinders yielded distinct scattering peaks even in laboratory grazing incidence small-angle X-ray scattering measurements. Hierarchical structures with perpendicularly oriented nanocylinders and parallel aligned liquid crystalline layers sustaining highly ordered nanostructures were revealed.
