Self-consistent field approach for cross-linked copolymer materials.
A generalized self-consistent field approach for polymer networks with a fixed topology is developed. It is shown that the theory reproduces the localization of cross-links, which is characteristic for gels. The theory is then used to study the order-disorder transition in regular networks of end-linked diblock copolymers. Compared to diblock copolymer melts, the transition is shifted towards l...
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 کاملHydrodynamic self-consistent field theory for inhomogeneous polymer melts.
We introduce a mesoscale technique for simulating the structure and rheology of block-copolymer melts and blends in hydrodynamic flows. The technique couples dynamic self-consistent field theory with continuum hydrodynamics and flow penalization to simulate polymeric fluid flows in channels of arbitrary geometry. We demonstrate the method by studying phase separation of an ABC triblock copolyme...
متن کاملA finite element approach to self-consistent field theory calculations of multiblock polymers
Self-consistent field theory (SCFT) has proven to be a powerful tool for modeling equilibrium microstructures of soft materials, particularly for multiblock polymers. A very successful approach to numerically solving the SCFT set of equations is based on using a spectral approach. While widely successful, this approach has limitations especially in the context of current technologically relevan...
متن کاملHybrid atomistic-coarse-grained treatment of multiscale processes in heterogeneous materials: a self-consistent-field approach.
A treatment of multiscale quasistatic processes that combines an atomistic description of microscopic heterogeneous ("near") regions of a material with a coarse-grained (quasicontinuum) description of macroscopic homogeneous ("far") regions is presented. The hybrid description yields a reduced system consisting of the original atoms of the near regions plus pseudoatoms (nodes of the coarse-grai...
