Aggregate morphologies of amphiphilic ABC triblock copolymer in dilute solution using self-consistent field theory.
The complex microstructures of amphiphilic ABC linear triblock copolymers in which one of the end blocks is relatively short and hydrophilic, and the other two blocks B and C are hydrophobic in a dilute solution, have been investigated by the real-space implementation of self-consistent field theory (SCFT) in two dimensions (2D). In contrast to diblock copolymers in solution, the aggregation of...
متن کاملShear flow controlled morphological polydispersity of amphiphilic ABA triblock copolymer vesicles.
Self-assembled polymeric aggregates are generally polydisperse in morphology due to the existence of many metastable states in the system. This shortcoming becomes a bottleneck for preparing high quality self-assembled polymeric materials. An important concern is the possibility of controlling morphological polydispersity through the modulation of the metastable states. In this study, both simu...
متن کاملPrediction of solvent-induced morphological changes of polyelectrolyte diblock copolymer micelles.
Self-assembly processes of polyelectrolyte block copolymers are ubiquitous in industrial and biological processes; understanding their physical properties can also provide insights into the design of polyelectrolyte materials with novel and tailored properties. Here, we report systematic analysis on how the ionic strength of the solvent and the length of the polyelectrolyte block affect the sel...
متن کاملBilayers in amphiphilic mixtures connected by threadlike micelles: a self-consistent field theory study
Binary mixtures of amphiphiles in solution can self-assemble into a wide range of structures when the two species individually form aggregates of different curvatures. A specific example of this is seen in solutions of lipid mixtures where the two species form lamellar structures and spherical micelles respectively. Here, vesicles connected by thread-like micelles can form in a narrow concentra...
متن کاملStructure of microemulsion-ABA triblock copolymer networks.
Structural equilibrium properties of transient networks formed by microemulsion droplets and ABA triblock copolymers in solution have been studied by Monte Carlo simulation. The droplets were represented by soft spheres, and the polymers were represented by junctions connected by harmonic bonds with an angular potential regulating the intrinsic chain stiffness. The interaction parameters were s...
