Nonconventional morphologies in two-length scale block copolymer systems beyond the weak segregation theory.
The order-disorder and order-order transitions (ODT and OOT) in the linear multiblock copolymers with two-length scale architecture A(fmN)(B(N2)A(N2))(n)B((1-f)mN) are studied under intermediate cooling below the ODT critical point where a nonconventional sequence of the OOTs was predicted previously [Smirnova et al., J. Chem. Phys. 124, 054907 (2006)] within the weak segregation theory (WST). ...
متن کاملMulticritical Phenomena and Microphase Ordering in Random Block Copolymer Melts
A mean-field analysis of microphase separation and phase behavior is described for melts of linear A-B multiblock copolymers, each chain consisting of a stochastic sequence of flexible segments (each with M monomers), AM and BM, for a total of Q >> 1 segments per chain. We find a phase diagram similar to that for statistical A-B copolymers (M = 1) but with an isotropic Lifshitz point that shoul...
متن کاملMicrophase Separation and Rheological Properties of Polyurethane Melts. 1. Effect of Block Length
A series of polyesterurethanes with differing block length and constant composition have been synthesized for rheological studies. Hard segments based on isophorone diisocyanate and 1,4butanediol and soft segments based on polycaprolactone to ensure high thermal stability and to prevent high melting point crystallinity enabled long-duration rheological characterization at high temperatures. DSC...
متن کاملMicrophase separation in polyelectrolytic diblock copolymer melt: weak segregation limit.
The authors present a generalized theory of microphase separation for charged-neutral diblock copolymer melt. The stability limit of the disordered phase for salt-free melt has been calculated using random phase approximation (RPA) and self-consistent-field theory (SCFT). Explicit analytical free energy expressions for different classical ordered microstructures (lamellar, cylinder, and sphere)...
متن کاملFabrication of Nanodots Using Microphase Separation of Block Copolymer
Silicon microchips have continued to grow progressively smallerto meet the demands of a competitive market. The next step indevelopment will send the chips from micro-order to nano-order,giving rise to new and challenging complications. Here, twomethods are explored to develop such technology. The firstinvolves molecular beam epitaxial (MBE) growth of isotopicallycon...
