Structural rheology of microphase separated diblock copolymers
We formulate a viscoelastic theory for interconnected microphase separated structures such as a double gyroid in diblock copolymer melts. We consider the energy increase and the energy dissipation due to the deformation of interconnected periodic domains. The dominant elastic part agrees with previous analytical results obtained by a phase formulation of deformations. It is shown that a viscous...
متن کاملTwo-dimensional self-assembly in diblock copolymers.
Diblock copolymers confined to a two-dimensional surface may produce uniform features of macromolecular dimensions (approximately 10-100 nm). We present a mathematical model for nanoscale pattern formation in such polymers that captures the dynamic evolution of a solution of poly(styrene)-b-poly(ethylene oxide), PS-b-PEO, in solvent at an air-water interface. The model has no fitting parameters...
متن کاملFluctuation Effects in Semiflexible Diblock Copolymers
We present a simulation study of the equilibrium thermodynamic behavior of semiflexible diblock copolymer melts. Using discretized wormlike chains and field-theoretic Monte Carlo, we find that concentration fluctuations play a critical role in controlling phase transitions of semiflexible diblock copolymers. Polymer flexibility and aspect ratio control the order− disorder transition Flory−Huggi...
متن کاملOrdering mechanisms in confined diblock copolymers
We present several ordering mechanisms in diblock copolymers. For temperatures above the orderdisorder temperature and in the weak segregation regime, a linear response theory is presented which gives the polymer density in the vicinity of confining flat surfaces. The surfaces are chemically patterned where different regions attract different parts of the copolymer chain. The surface pattern or...
متن کاملComposition Fluctuation Effects on Dielectric Normal-Mode Relaxation in Diblock Copolymers. 1. Weak Segregation Regime
Dielectric relaxation spectroscopy has been used to investigate the normal-mode relaxation in disordered diblock copolymer melts far from the order-to-disorder transition (ODT). The dielectric spectra are analyzed in order to quantitatively obtain the distribution of relaxation times in the disordered diblocks. The width of the relaxation function shows significant broadening relative to the re...
