Phase Behavior of Ternary Homopolymer/Diblock Blends: Microphase Unbinding in the Symmetric System
We consider the phase behavior of a symmetric AB diblock, blended with corresponding A and B homopolymers, all of equal chain length. Evaluating the phase diagram in mean-field theory at all compositions of the ternary blend, we find no hexagonal and cubic phases. However, up to three distinct lamellar phases can coexist, one being symmetric and the other two being asymmetric. For strong incomp...
متن کاملEffect of homopolymer molecular weight on order-order transition in block copolymer and homopolymer blends.
The order-order transition temperature (T(OOT)) in blends of poly(styrene-b-isoprene-b-styrene) (S-I-S) triblock copolymer and polyisoprene (PI) homopolymer was investigated by using synchrotron small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS). Pure triblock copolymer undergoes an order-order transition (OOT) from hexagonally ordered cylinder (HEX) to body centered cubic (BCC) phases. In order to investigat...
متن کاملDiblock Copolymer / Homopolymer Blends: Derivation of a Density Functional Theory
Melts of diblock copolymer / homopolymer blends exhibit multiscale phase separation: (i) macrophase separation into homopolymerand copolymer-rich macrodomains followed by (ii) microphase separation into Aand B-rich microdomains within the copolymer-rich macrodomains (cf. [16, 17, 26]). Following our previous derivation in [6], we derive a density functional theory for blends. This theory has be...
متن کاملCritical point calculation for binary mixtures of symmetric non-additive hard disks
We have calculated the values of critical packing fractions for the mixtures of symmetric non-additive hard disks. An interesting feature of the model is the fact that the internal energy is zero and the phase transitions are entropically driven. A cluster algorithm for Monte Carlo simulations in a semigrand ensemble was used. The finite size scaling analysis was employed to compute the critica...
متن کاملGlassy correlations and microstructures in randomly cross-linked homopolymer blends.
We consider a microscopic model of a polymer blend that is prone to phase separation. Permanent cross-links are introduced between randomly chosen pairs of monomers, drawn from the Deam-Edwards distribution. Thereby, not only density but also concentration fluctuations of the melt are quenched-in in the gel state, which emerge upon sufficient cross-linking. We derive a Landau expansion in terms...
