Microphase 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 کاملChemical Interactions and Their Role in the Microphase Separation of Block Copolymer Thin Films
The thermodynamics of self-assembling systems are discussed in terms of the chemical interactions and the intermolecular forces between species. It is clear that there are both theoretical and practical limitations on the dimensions and the structural regularity of these systems. These considerations are made with reference to the microphase separation that occurs in block copolymer (BCP) syste...
متن کاملProtonation-Induced Microphase Separation in Thin Films of a Polyelectrolyte-Hydrophilic Diblock Copolymer
Block copolymers composed of poly(oligo ethylene glycol methyl ether methacrylate) and poly(2-vinylpyridine) are disordered in the neat state but can be induced to order by protonation of the P2VP block, demonstrating a tunable and responsive method for triggering assembly in thin films. Comparison of protonation with the addition of salts shows that microphase separation is due to selective pr...
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...
متن کاملAiloring Spatial Orientations of Microphase-Separated Cylinders and Lamellae of Block Copolymer Thin Films
In the study, I investigated microphaseseparated nanostructures of PS-P2VP thin films by annealing in binary solvent vapors of chloroform and methanol. Ordered microphase-separated nanostructures were achieved by controlling solvent annealing conditions. One of the key parameters is the compositions of binary co-solvent vapors. We also discuss the thermodynamic properties of perpendicularly-or...
