We present the results of kinetic Monte Carlo simulations aimed at exploring the effect of copolymer sequence distribution on the dynamics of phase separation of an immiscible A/B binary homopolymer blend. Diblock, protein-like copolymers (PLCs), simple linear gradient, random, and alternating copolymers having equal number of A and B segments, identical chemical composition, and chain length a...
متن کاملDirected self-assembly of cylinder-forming diblock copolymers on sparse chemical patterns.
Using both theory and experiment, we investigate the possibility of creating perfectly ordered block copolymer nanostructures on sparsely patterned substrates. Our study focuses on scrutinizing the appropriate pattern conditions to avoid undesired morphologies or defects when depositing cylinder-forming AB diblock copolymer thin films on the substrates which are mostly neutral with periodic str...
متن کاملNucleation Rate Calculation for the Phase Transition of Diblock Copolymers under Stochastic Cahn-Hilliard Dynamics
We focus on the nucleation rate calculation for diblock copolymers by studying the two-dimensional stochastic Cahn–Hilliard dynamics with a Landau–Brazovskii energy functional. To do this, we devise the string method to compute the minimal energy path of nucleation events and the gentlest ascent dynamics to locate the saddle point on the path in Fourier space. Both methods are combined with the...
متن کاملMicrophase separation patterns in diblock copolymers on curved surfaces using a nonlocal Cahn-Hilliard equation.
We investigate microphase separation patterns on curved surfaces in three-dimensional space by numerically solving a nonlocal Cahn-Hilliard equation for diblock copolymers. In our model, a curved surface is implicitly represented as the zero level set of a signed distance function. We employ a discrete narrow band grid that neighbors the curved surface. Using the closest point method, we apply ...
متن کاملWell-defined PE-b-PTFE diblock copolymers via combination of coordination chain transfer polymerization and condensation reaction: Facile preparation and surface modification of polyethylene film
In this paper, a series of well-defined polyethylene-b-polytetrafluoroethylene diblock copolymers (PE–b– PTFEs) were prepared by a coupling reaction of hydroxyl-terminated polyethylene (PE–OH) and isocyanateterminated 1H,1H-perfluoro-1-tetradecanol (PFDO–NCO). PE–OH was prepared by the coordination chain transfer polymerization using 2,6-bis[1-(2,6-diisopropylphenyl)imino ethyl] pyridine iron (...
