Block Copolymers: Synthesis, Self-Assembly, and Applications
Research on block copolymers (BCPs) has played a critical role in the development of polymer chemistry, with numerous pivotal contributions that have advanced our ability to prepare, characterize, theoretically model, and technologically exploit this class of materials in a myriad of ways in the fields of chemistry, physics, material sciences, and biological and medical sciences. The breathtaki...
متن کاملEnzymatically triggered self-assembly of block copolymers.
The polymerization of vinyl monomers with cleavable enzymatic substrates has been shown to lead to water-soluble double-hydrophilic block copolymers which, upon enzymatic activation of the diblock copolymers, become amphiphilic and undergo self-assembly into colloidal nanostructures. The ability to change the chemical and physical characteristics of polymeric materials by an enzymatic reaction ...
متن کاملSelf-assembly of rod-coil block copolymers.
We present a self-consistent field theory model for the self-assembly behavior of rod-coil block copolymers. The orientational interactions between the rods were modeled through a Maier-Saupe interaction, while the enthalpic interactions between rods and coils were modeled through a standard Flory-Huggins approach. We outline a "real-space" numerical approach to solve the self-consistent field ...
متن کاملSelf-Assembly of Block Copolymers: Theoretical Models and Mathematical Challenges
Recently, topological effects of ring polymers have attracted much attention in various fields of science such as physics, biology and chemistry. DNA knots, knots in proteins, and synthetic ring polymers have been extensively studied not only theoretically but also experimentally. Interestingly, their mesoscopic or macroscopic properties may depend on their topology. The topology of a ring poly...

S (in alphabetic order by speaker surname) Speaker: Masao Doi Title: Computational Implementation of Ohta-Kawasaki Density Functional for Block Polymers having General Architecture Abstract: The Ohta-Kawasaki theory gives a simple expression for the free energy of the melt of block copolymers as a functional of the density distribution of each blocks. Here I will discuss how to generalize this ...
