Vesicle-to-micelle transition induced by grafted diblock copolymers.
We study by small-angle neutron scattering the vesicle-to-micelle transition induced by anchoring diblock copolymers on the surfactant membranes. Vesicles are made using the ternary system SDS (sodium dodecyl sulfate)/octanol/PS-POE (polystyrene-polyoxyethylene), chosen as a model of more complex biological systems. The anchored polymer chains destabilize the membranes and lead to the formation...
متن کاملTwo-dimensional self-assembly in diblock copolymers.
Diblock copolymers confined to a two-dimensional surface may produce uniform features of macromolecular dimensions (approximately 10-100 nm). We present a mathematical model for nanoscale pattern formation in such polymers that captures the dynamic evolution of a solution of poly(styrene)-b-poly(ethylene oxide), PS-b-PEO, in solvent at an air-water interface. The model has no fitting parameters...
متن کاملFluctuation Effects in Semiflexible Diblock Copolymers
We present a simulation study of the equilibrium thermodynamic behavior of semiflexible diblock copolymer melts. Using discretized wormlike chains and field-theoretic Monte Carlo, we find that concentration fluctuations play a critical role in controlling phase transitions of semiflexible diblock copolymers. Polymer flexibility and aspect ratio control the order− disorder transition Flory−Huggi...
متن کاملOrdering mechanisms in confined diblock copolymers
We present several ordering mechanisms in diblock copolymers. For temperatures above the orderdisorder temperature and in the weak segregation regime, a linear response theory is presented which gives the polymer density in the vicinity of confining flat surfaces. The surfaces are chemically patterned where different regions attract different parts of the copolymer chain. The surface pattern or...
متن کاملPolymersomes: tough vesicles made from diblock copolymers.
Vesicles were made from amphiphilic diblock copolymers and characterized by micromanipulation. The average molecular weight of the specific polymer studied, polyethyleneoxide-polyethylethylene (EO40-EE37), is several times greater than that of typical phospholipids in natural membranes. Both the membrane bending and area expansion moduli of electroformed polymersomes (polymer-based liposomes) f...
