Random isotropic structures and possible glass transitions in diblock copolymer melts.

We study the microstructural glass transition in diblock-copolymer melts using a thermodynamic replica approach. Our approach performs an expansion in terms of the natural smallness parameter--the inverse of the scaled degree of polymerization N--which allows us to systematically study the approach to mean-field behavior as the degree of polymerization increases. We find that in the limit of in...

Evolution in off-critical diblock copolymer melts

We study the evolution of diblock copolymer melts in which one component has small volume fraction. In this case one observes phase morphologies which consist of small spheres of the minority component embedded in the other component. Based on the Ohta-Kawasaki free energy one can set up an evolution equation which has the interpretation of a gradient flow. We restrict this gradient flow to mor...

Transitions to periodic structures in block copolymer melts.

\Vc analyzc ncarly continuous transitions to pcriodic structures expanding the dcnsity of thc periodic strllcture in multiple harmonics. A thrce dimensional hexagonal structure identified as a "Lamellar-Catenoid" is the equilillrium structurc near thc transition. It consists of alternating lamellar domains connectcd by an orthogonal array of hexagonally packed cylinders. \Ve obtain the periodic...

Compositional and orientational ordering in rod - coil diblock copolymer melts

The phase behavior of a melt of monodisperse rod-coil diblocks is studied. We derive a Landau free energy functional for both a compositional and a nematic order parameter. The excluded volume interaction between the rod blocks is modeled by an attractive Maier-Saupe interaction. The incompatibility between rodand coil blocks is modeled by the usual Flory-Huggins interaction. For large volume f...

Polydispersity-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...
