Nucleation of ordered phases in block copolymers.
Nucleation of various ordered phases in block copolymers is studied by examining the free-energy landscape within the self-consistent field theory. The minimum energy path (MEP) connecting two ordered phases is computed using a recently developed string method. The shape, size, and free-energy barrier of critical nuclei are obtained from the MEP, providing information about the emergence of a s...
متن کاملDiscovering new ordered phases of block copolymers
We propose a new and general method for discovering novel ordered phases of block copolymer melts. The method involves minimizing a free energy functional in an arbitrary unit cell with respect to the composition profile and the dimensions of the unit cell, without any prior assumption of the microphase symmetry. Varying the initial conditions allows to search for different stable and metastabl...
متن کاملOrigin of epitaxies between ordered phases of block copolymers
The origin of epitaxial relationships between different ordered phases of diblock copolymers is studied by examining the nucleation barrier of an arbitrarily oriented nucleus. It is found that the orientation-dependence of the nucleation barrier exhibits a very corrugated landscape with a few deep minima, corresponding to preferred crystallographic orientations of the nuclei. These minima are i...
متن کاملSupramolecular structures from rod-coil block copolymers.
One of the fascinating subjects in areas such as materials science, nanochemistry, and biomimetic chemistry is concerned with the creation of supramolecular architectures with well-defined shapes and functions. Self-assembly of molecules through noncovalent forces including hydrophobic and hydrophilic effects, electrostatic interactions, hydrogen bonding, microphase segregation, and shape effec...
متن کاملNanoparticle-Regulated Phase Behavior of Ordered Block Copolymers
Although block copolymer motifs have received considerable attention as supramolecular templates for inorganic nanoparticles, experimental observations of a nanostructured diblock copolymer containing inorganic nanoparticles-supported by theoretical trends predicted from a hybrid self-consistent field/density functional theory-confirm that nanoparticle size and selectivity can likewise stabiliz...
