Shear ordering in thin films of spherical block copolymer.
We have investigated shear-induced alignment of a bilayer of spherical diblock copolymer micelles within thin films using molecular dynamics simulations at two different levels of coarse-graining. At the microscopic level, the copolymers are modeled as bead and spring chains with specific interaction potentials which produce strongly segregated spherical micelles. The simulations qualitatively ...
متن کاملSalt Complexation in Block Copolymer Thin Films
Ion complexation within cylinder-forming block copolymer thin films was found to affect the ordering process of the copolymer films during solvent annealing, significantly enhancing the long-range positional order. Small amounts of alkali halide or metal salts were added to PS-b-PEO, on the order of a few ions per chain, where the salt complexed with the PEO block. The orientation of the cylind...
متن کاملAnisotropic Optical Properties and Structures of Block Copolymer/Silica Thin Films Containing Aligned Porphyrin J-Aggregates
Mesostructured silica-block copolymer thin films are demonstrated to provide orientationally ordered host matrixes for stable alignment of coassembled porphyrin J-aggregates with anisotropic optical properties. Visible light at 490 nm was absorbed anisotropically (A|/A⊥ ) 1.35) by aligned, hexagonally ordered (ethylene oxide)20-(propylene oxide)70-(ethylene oxide)20 (P123) triblock copolymer/si...
متن کاملIn situ fabrication of ordered nanoring arrays via the reconstruction of patterned block copolymer thin films.
We report a novel and versatile approach for fabricating ordered nanoring arrays of metals, metal oxides, and other inorganic materials with diameter of sub-50 nm by loading the salt precursors in P4VP cores of PS-b-P4VP thin film and exposing these to methanol vapor which results in the P4VP blocks shrinking to form nanorings.
متن کاملStability of Order in Solvent-Annealed Block Copolymer Thin Films
One way to produce high order in a block copolymer thin film is by solution casting a thin film and slowly evaporating the solvent in a sealed vessel. Such a solvent-annealing process is a versatile method to produce a highly ordered thin film of a block copolymer. However, the ordered structure of the film degrades over time when stored under ambient conditions. Remarkably, this aging process ...
