Phase Diagram of Diblock Copolymer Melt in Dimension d=5
Using the self-consistent field theory (SCFT) in spherical unit cells of various dimensionalities, D, a phase diagram of a diblock, A-b-B, is calculated in 5 dimensional space, d = 5. This is an extension of a previuos work for d = 4. The phase diagram is parameterized by the chain composition, f, and incompatibility between A and B, quantified by the product χN. We predict 5 stable nanophases:...
متن کاملSelf-assembly of 21-arm star-like diblock copolymer in bulk and under cylindrical confinement.
Phase behaviors of a 21-arm star-like diblock copolymer in bulk and under confinement were explored by using the pseudo-spectral method of a self-consistent mean field theory. An asymmetrical phase diagram in bulk was constructed by comparing the free energy of different structures. The gyroid phase was found to possess a large phase region when the inner block in the star-like diblock copolyme...
متن کاملMonte Carlo phase diagram for diblock copolymer melts.
The phase diagram for diblock copolymer melts is evaluated from lattice-based Monte Carlo simulations using parallel tempering, improving upon earlier simulations that used sequential temperature scans. This new approach locates the order-disorder transition (ODT) far more accurately by the occurrence of a sharp spike in the heat capacity. The present study also performs a more thorough investi...
متن کاملDodecagonal quasicrystalline order in a diblock copolymer melt.
We report the discovery of a dodecagonal quasicrystalline state (DDQC) in a sphere (micelle) forming poly(isoprene-b-lactide) (IL) diblock copolymer melt, investigated as a function of time following rapid cooling from above the order-disorder transition temperature (TODT = 66 °C) using small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) measurements. Between TODT and the order-order transition temperature TOO...
متن کاملUniversalization of the Phase Diagram for a Model Rod-Coil Diblock Copolymer
The Flory-Huggins interaction is measured for a model rod-coil block copolymer system, poly(alkoxyphenylenevinylene-b-isoprene), by fitting the interfacial segregation of block copolymer to a homopolymer interface and by using the random phase approximation (RPA) for block copolymers. The measured interfacial segregation of a block copolymer to the interface between homopolymers, fit with a sel...
