Supracolloidal polymer chains of diblock copolymer micelles.
Directional attraction with lateral repulsion between colloidal nanoparticles can create their supracolloidal chains. Here, we demonstrate supracolloidal polymers of diblock copolymer micelles, which were polymerized by adjusting the polarity of the solvent. We also synthesized supracolloidal random and block copolymer chains.
متن کاملDynamics and order–disorder transitions in bidisperse diblock copolymer blends
We employ the dynamic extension of self-consistent field theory (DSCFT) to study dynamics and order–disorder transitions (ODT) in AB diblock copolymer binary mixtures of two different monodisperse chain lengths by imitating the dynamic storage modulus G0 corresponding to any given morphology in the oscillatory shear measurements. The different polydispersity index (PDI) is introduced by binary ...
متن کاملNanoparticle-Induced Phase Transitions in Diblock-Copolymer Films
Incorporation of nanoparticles into self-assembled block copolymers has been explored as an efficient way for improving the mechanical strength, electrical conductivity, and optical properties of materials at the nanometer scale. Recent computer simulations predict that the cooperative self-organization of nanoparticles and block copolymers should yield a wide variety of structures with well-co...
متن کاملSelf-Assembly of Block Copolymer Chains To Promote the Dispersion of Nanoparticles in Polymer Nanocomposites
In this paper we adopt molecular dynamics simulations to study the amphiphilic AB block copolymer (BCP) mediated nanoparticle (NP) dispersion in polymer nanocomposites (PNCs), with the A-block being compatible with the NPs and the B-block being miscible with the polymer matrix. The effects of the number and components of BCP, as well as the interaction strength between A-block and NPs on the sp...
متن کاملTuning the Mechanical Properties of Polymer Nanocomposites Filled with Grafted Nanoparticles by Varying the Grafted Chain Length and Flexibility
By employing coarse-grained molecular dynamics simulation, we simulate the spatial organization of the polymer-grafted nanoparticles (NPs) in homopolymer matrix and the resulting mechanical performance, by particularly regulating the grafted chain length and flexibility. The morphologies ranging from the agglomerate, cylinder, sheet, and string to full dispersion are observed, by gradually incr...
