Diblock copolymer ordering induced by patterned surfaces
– We use a Ginzburg-Landau free energy functional to investigate diblock copolymer morphologies when the copolymer melt interacts with one surface or is confined between two chemically patterned surfaces. For temperatures above the order-disorder transition a complete linear response description of the copolymer melt is given, in terms of an arbitrary two-dimensional surface pattern. The appear...
متن کاملCompositional and orientational ordering in rod - coil diblock copolymer melts
The phase behavior of a melt of monodisperse rod-coil diblocks is studied. We derive a Landau free energy functional for both a compositional and a nematic order parameter. The excluded volume interaction between the rod blocks is modeled by an attractive Maier-Saupe interaction. The incompatibility between rodand coil blocks is modeled by the usual Flory-Huggins interaction. For large volume f...
متن کاملDiblock copolymer lamellae on sinusoidal and fractal surfaces.
A scaling analysis of equilibrium orientation of diblock copolymer molecules on fractal surfaces and a brief comparison with a particular experiment is presented in this paper. This work is motivated by a recent experimental finding that a diblock copolymer film of polystyrene-PMMA, when deposited on a rough substrate, can orient its lamellae from a parallel to a perpendicular configuration dep...
متن کاملPhase behaviors and ordering dynamics of diblock copolymer self-assembly directed by lateral hexagonal confinement.
The thermodynamics and kinetics of the self-assembly of cylinder-forming diblock copolymers directed by the lateral confinement of hexagons have been studied by the combination of self-consistent field theory (SCFT) calculation and time-dependent Ginzburg-Landau (TDGL) theory simulation. The SCFT calculations are used to determine the stability of candidate 2D and 3D equilibrium phases formed i...
متن کاملAmphiphilic Diblock Copolymer Surface
10 11 Both visible and infrared (IR) spectroscopic ellipsometry have been employed to study the 12 structure of thin layers of bovine submaxillary mucin (BSM) adsorbed on poly(acrylic acid13 block-methyl methacrylate) (PAA-b-PMMA) copolymer and poly(methyl methacrylate) 14 surfaces at three pH values (3, 7 and 10). The adsorbed mucin layer on the copolymer surface 15 had the greatest thickness ...
