Universality of block copolymer melts.
Simulations of five different coarse-grained models of symmetric diblock copolymers are compared to demonstrate a universal (i.e., model-independent) dependence of the free energy and order-disorder transition (ODT) on the invariant degree of polymerization N̄. The actual values of χN at the ODT approach predictions of the Fredrickson-Helfand (FH) theory for N̄ ≳ 10(4) but significantly exceed FH...
متن کاملDrying of films formed by ordered poly(ethylene oxide)-poly(propylene oxide) block copolymer gels.
The drying of hydrogel films formed by poly(ethylene oxide)-poly(propylene oxide) (PEO-PPO) block copolymers (Pluronic P105 and Pluronic L64) is investigated at various air relative humidity (RH) conditions in the range 11-94%. These amphiphilic block copolymers self-assemble to form a variety of ordered (lyotropic liquid crystalline) structures as the water content decreases. The amount of wat...
متن کاملPhase behaviour of block copolymer melts with arbitrary architecture
The Leibler theory [L. Leibler, Macromolecules 13 1602 (1980)] for mi-crophase separation in AB block copolymer melts is generalized for systems with arbitrary topology of molecules. A diagrammatic technique for calculation of the monomeric correlation functions is developed. The free energies of various mesophases are calculated within the second-harmonic approximation. Model highly-branched t...
متن کاملMulticritical Phenomena and Microphase Ordering in Random Block Copolymer Melts
A mean-field analysis of microphase separation and phase behavior is described for melts of linear A-B multiblock copolymers, each chain consisting of a stochastic sequence of flexible segments (each with M monomers), AM and BM, for a total of Q >> 1 segments per chain. We find a phase diagram similar to that for statistical A-B copolymers (M = 1) but with an isotropic Lifshitz point that shoul...
متن کاملTransitions 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...
