Glassy states and microphase separation in cross-linked homopolymer blends
– The physical properties of blends of distinct homopolymers, cross-linked beyond the gelation point, are addressed via a Landau approach involving a pair of coupled order-parameter fields: one describing vulcanisation, the other describing local phase separation. Thermal concentration fluctuations, present at the time of cross-linking, are frozen in by cross-linking, and the structure of the r...
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 کاملPhase and microphase separation in polymer blends
When two different polymers are mixed, they usually demix because of the slight repulsive interaction that exists between their monomers. This is general and may be related to phase separation in two component mixtures. When the same polymer blend is cross-linked in the one phase region, elastic forces develop and do not let this to occur. There results a microphase separation, with coexistence...
متن کاملMicrophase separation in cross-linked polymer blends. Efficient replica RPA post-processing of simulation data for homopolymer networks.
We investigate the behaviour of randomly cross-linked (co)polymer blends using a combination of replica theory and large-scale molecular dynamics simulations. In particular, we derive the analogue of the random phase approximation for systems with quenched disorder and show how the required correlation functions can be calculated efficiently. By post-processing simulation data for homopolymer n...
متن کاملMicrophase separation in binary polymeric micelles
2014 A theoretical analysis of microphase separation in binary micelles is presented. We consider micelles consisting of two kinds of diblock copolymers such that the micellar corona contains two chemically distinct block types (A and B). Both intramicellar and intermicellar processes may occur. We focus on intermicellar segregation occurring after a quench yielding complete intramicellar micro...
