Lamellar 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 کاملStability of parallel/perpendicular domain boundaries in lamellar block copolymers under oscillatory shear
We introduce a model constitutive law for the dissipative stress tensor of lamellar phases to account for low frequency and long wavelength flows. Given the uniaxial symmetry of these phases, we argue that the stress tensor must be the same as that of a nematic but with the local order parameter being the slowly varying lamellar wavevector. This assumption leads to a dependence of the effective...
متن کامل0 New Method for Phase Transitions in Diblock Copolymers : – The Lamellar Case
A new mean-field type theory is proposed to study order-disorder transitions (ODT) in block copolymers. The theory applies to both the weak segregation (WSL) and the strong segregation (SSL) regimes. A new energy functional is proposed without appealing to the random phase approximation (RPA). We find new terms unaccounted for within RPA. We work out in detail transitions to the lamellar state ...
متن کاملStriped, ellipsoidal particles by controlled assembly of diblock copolymers.
Control of interfacial interactions leads to a dramatic change in shape and morphology for particles based on poly(styrene-b-2-vinylpyridine) diblock copolymers. Key to these changes is the addition of Au-based surfactant nanoparticles (SNPs) which are adsorbed at the interface between block copolymer-containing emulsion droplets and the surrounding amphiphilic surfactant to afford asymmetric, ...
متن کاملLamellar Diblock Copolymers on Rough Substrates: Self-Consistent Field Theory Studies
We present numerical calculations of lamellar phases of diblock copolymers (BCP) confined between two surfaces, where the top surface is flat and the bottom one is corrugated. The corrugated substrate is assumed to have a single q-mode of lateral undulations with a wavenumber qs and amplitude R. We focus on the effects of substrate roughness, parametrized by the dimensionless quantity, qsR, on ...
