Ordering mechanisms in confined diblock copolymers
We present several ordering mechanisms in diblock copolymers. For temperatures above the orderdisorder temperature and in the weak segregation regime, a linear response theory is presented which gives the polymer density in the vicinity of confining flat surfaces. The surfaces are chemically patterned where different regions attract different parts of the copolymer chain. The surface pattern or...
متن کاملLamellar phase stability in diblock copolymers under reciprocating shear flows
A mesoscopic model of a diblock copolymer is used to study the stability of a uniform lamellar phase under a reciprocating shear flow. Approximate viscosity contrast between the microphases is allowed through a linear dependence of the (Newtonian) shear viscosity on monomer composition. We first show that viscosity contrast does not affect the composition of the base lamellar phase in an unboun...
متن کاملDiblock copolymer thin films: Parallel and perpendicular lamellar phases in the weak segregation limit
We study morphologies of thin-film diblock copolymers between two flat and parallel walls. The study is restricted to the weak segregation regime below the order-disorder transition temperature. The deviation from perfect lamellar shape is calculated for phases which are perpendicular and parallel to the walls. We examine the undulations of the inter material dividing surface and its angle with...
متن کاملThin Film Diblock Copolymers in Electric Field: Transition from Perpendicular to Parallel Lamellae
We examine the alignment of thin film diblock copolymers subject to a perpendicular electric field. Two regimes are considered separately: weak segregation and strong segregation. For weakly segregated blocks and below a critical value of the field, Ec, surface interactions stabilize stacking of lamellae in a direction parallel to the surfaces. Above the critical field, a first-order phase tran...
متن کاملAnalytical Weak-Segregation Theory of Bicontinuous Phases in Diblock Copolymers
We compute phase diagrams for diblock copolymers in the mean-field weaksegregation regime as a function of the fraction f of A-monomers and the repulsive interaction XN. We include the ordered bicontinuous double-diamond (OBDD) phase [space
