Photo-induced bond breaking during phase separation kinetics of block copolymer melts: a dissipative particle dynamics study
نویسندگان
چکیده
We studied phase separation kinetics of block copolymer melts while passing them through alternate photo-induced bond breaking (on) and recombination (off) reaction cycles, discussed its effect on evolution morphologies, scaling functions, length.

Reptational dynamics in dissipative particle dynamics simulations of polymer melts.
Understanding the fundamental properties of polymeric liquids remains a challenge in materials science and soft matter physics. Here, we present a simple and computationally efficient criterion for topological constraints, i.e., uncrossability of chains, in polymeric liquids using the dissipative particle dynamics (DPD) method. No new length scales or forces are added. To demonstrate that this ...
متن کاملUniversality of block copolymer melts.
Simulations of five different coarse-grained models of symmetric diblock copolymers are compared to demonstrate a universal (i.e., model-independent) dependence of the free energy and order-disorder transition (ODT) on the invariant degree of polymerization N̄. The actual values of χN at the ODT approach predictions of the Fredrickson-Helfand (FH) theory for N̄ ≳ 10(4) but significantly exceed FH...
متن کاملPhase behaviour of block copolymer melts with arbitrary architecture
The Leibler theory [L. Leibler, Macromolecules 13 1602 (1980)] for mi-crophase separation in AB block copolymer melts is generalized for systems with arbitrary topology of molecules. A diagrammatic technique for calculation of the monomeric correlation functions is developed. The free energies of various mesophases are calculated within the second-harmonic approximation. Model highly-branched t...
متن کاملPolydispersity-induced macrophase separation in diblock copolymer melts.
The effect of A-block polydispersity on the phase behavior of AB-diblock copolymer melts is examined using a complete self-consistent field theory treatment that allows for fractionation of the parent molecular-weight distribution. In addition to observing the established shift in phase boundaries, we find the emergence of significant two-phase coexistence regions causing, for instance, the dis...
