Monte Carlo phase diagram for diblock copolymer melts.
The phase diagram for diblock copolymer melts is evaluated from lattice-based Monte Carlo simulations using parallel tempering, improving upon earlier simulations that used sequential temperature scans. This new approach locates the order-disorder transition (ODT) far more accurately by the occurrence of a sharp spike in the heat capacity. The present study also performs a more thorough investi...
متن کاملEvolution in off-critical diblock copolymer melts
We study the evolution of diblock copolymer melts in which one component has small volume fraction. In this case one observes phase morphologies which consist of small spheres of the minority component embedded in the other component. Based on the Ohta-Kawasaki free energy one can set up an evolution equation which has the interpretation of a gradient flow. We restrict this gradient flow to mor...
متن کاملSelf-Consistent Field Theory for Melts of Low-Molecular-Weight Diblock Copolymer
This paper applies self-consistent field theory (SCFT) to discrete polymer chains consisting of a finite number of beads, N, joined together by freely jointed bonds of arbitrary potential, b(R). The numerics of this SCFT can be performed efficiently using spectral or pseudospectral algorithms, permitting its application to complex morphologies. To demonstrate its effectiveness, we examine diblo...
متن کاملA rigorous derivation of mean-field models for diblock copolymer melts
We study the free boundary problem describing the micro phase separation of diblock copolymer melts in the regime that one component has small volume fraction such that micro phase separation results in an ensemble of small spheres of one component. Mean-field models for the evolution of a large ensemble of such spheres have been formally derived in [6, 11]. It turns out that on a time scale of...
متن کاملPolydispersity-induced macrophase separation in diblock copolymer melts.
The effect of A-block polydispersity on the phase behavior of AB-diblock copolymer melts is examined using a complete self-consistent field theory treatment that allows for fractionation of the parent molecular-weight distribution. In addition to observing the established shift in phase boundaries, we find the emergence of significant two-phase coexistence regions causing, for instance, the dis...
