Atom-Transfer Radical Polymerization to Synthesize Novel Liquid Crystalline Diblock Copolymers with Polystyrene and Mesogen-jacketed Liquid Crystal Polymer Segments
The synthesis of a series of new rod-coil diblock copolymers with different molecular weights and low polydispersity was achieved by atom transfer radical polymerization. The block architecture (coil-conformation of styrene segment and rigid-rod conformation of 2,5-bis[(4-methoxyphenyl)-oxycarbonyl]styrene segment) of the diblock copolymers was experimentally confirmed by proton nuclear magneti...
متن کاملLamellar phase stability in diblock copolymers under reciprocating shear flows
A mesoscopic model of a diblock copolymer is used to study the stability of a uniform lamellar phase under a reciprocating shear flow. Approximate viscosity contrast between the microphases is allowed through a linear dependence of the (Newtonian) shear viscosity on monomer composition. We first show that viscosity contrast does not affect the composition of the base lamellar phase in an unboun...
متن کاملPhase behavior of semiflexible-coil diblock copolymers: a hybrid numerical SCFT approach
The phase behavior of semiflexible-coil diblock copolymer melts is studied by solving the self-consistent field theory (SCFT) equations of wormlike chains. Significant improvement of numerical accuracy and stability is achieved by a hybrid numerical implementation of SCFT, in which the space-dependent functions are treated using a spectral method and the orientation-dependent functions are disc...
متن کاملEffect of Geometrical Asymmetry on the Phase Behavior of Rod-Coil Diblock Copolymers
The effect of geometrical asymmetry β (described by the length-diameter ratio of rods) on the rod-coil diblock copolymer phase behavior is studied by implementation of self-consistent field theory (SCFT) in three-dimensional (3D) position space while considering the rod orientation on the spherical surface. The phase diagrams at different geometrical asymmetry show that the aspect ratio of rods...
متن کاملLiquid-crystalline phase behavior of a colloidal rod-plate mixture.
The phase behavior of rod-plate mixtures was investigated using model systems containing unambiguously rod- and plate-shaped colloids. We find that the theoretically disputed biaxial nematic phase is unstable with respect to demixing into an isotropic and two uniaxial nematic phases. The phase behavior at very high densities is exceptionally rich and includes the coexistence of up to four diffe...
