Structural rheology of microphase separated diblock copolymers
We formulate a viscoelastic theory for interconnected microphase separated structures such as a double gyroid in diblock copolymer melts. We consider the energy increase and the energy dissipation due to the deformation of interconnected periodic domains. The dominant elastic part agrees with previous analytical results obtained by a phase formulation of deformations. It is shown that a viscous...
متن کاملProtonation-Induced Microphase Separation in Thin Films of a Polyelectrolyte-Hydrophilic Diblock Copolymer
Block copolymers composed of poly(oligo ethylene glycol methyl ether methacrylate) and poly(2-vinylpyridine) are disordered in the neat state but can be induced to order by protonation of the P2VP block, demonstrating a tunable and responsive method for triggering assembly in thin films. Comparison of protonation with the addition of salts shows that microphase separation is due to selective pr...
متن کاملMicrophase separation in polyelectrolytic diblock copolymer melt: weak segregation limit.
The authors present a generalized theory of microphase separation for charged-neutral diblock copolymer melt. The stability limit of the disordered phase for salt-free melt has been calculated using random phase approximation (RPA) and self-consistent-field theory (SCFT). Explicit analytical free energy expressions for different classical ordered microstructures (lamellar, cylinder, and sphere)...
متن کاملAiloring Spatial Orientations of Microphase-Separated Cylinders and Lamellae of Block Copolymer Thin Films
In the study, I investigated microphaseseparated nanostructures of PS-P2VP thin films by annealing in binary solvent vapors of chloroform and methanol. Ordered microphase-separated nanostructures were achieved by controlling solvent annealing conditions. One of the key parameters is the compositions of binary co-solvent vapors. We also discuss the thermodynamic properties of perpendicularly-or...
متن کاملInterference microscopy on thin diblock copolymer films
2014 At equilibrium thin films of symmetric diblock copolymers exhibit a morphology where the lamellar microdomains are oriented parallel to the external surfaces. Interference microscopy has been used to investigate this orientation which results in a quantization of the film thickness. Solution cast films of the symmetric polystyrene/polymethylmethacrylate P(S-b-MMA) diblock copolymers exhibi...
