Herein, the interfacial energy of a reconstructive polymer surface formed by segregation is analyzed by measuring the change in the size of elastomer thin films floating on water. When a system in which amphiphilic diblock copolymers are mixed with the hydrophobic elastomer is in contact with water, surface reconstruction is triggered by the segregation of copolymers with a gain in the hydration energy of the hydrophilic blocks. The hydrophilic brush layer spontaneously formed at the elastomer-water interface is named the dynamic po
