Workshop; XI Latin American Workshop on Nonlinear Phenomena; 2009

In this talk we will discuss the process of defect formation during a continuous symmetry breaking phase transition in thin films of block copolymers and additional features, such as the role of the curvature on the mechanism of self-organization and the coupling between defects and intrinsic curvature.
