Driven Diffusion in Copolymer Systems
نویسنده
چکیده
The microphase separation of diblock copolymers in the presence of an external force field is simulated by means of a cell dynamical system model. It is found that the pattern formation is greatly affected by the presence of the field and by the type of boundary conditions considered. 64.60.Cn, 61.41.+e, 64.75.+g Typeset using REVTEX

Mathematical modeling the effect of catalyst initial shape and the crack pattern in olefin copolymerization
A two-dimensional (2D) single particle model for the copolymerization of propylene-ethylene with heterogeneous Ziegler-Natta catalyst is developed. The model accounts for the effects of the initial shape of the catalyst and carck/ pore patterns on the copolymer composition, polymerization rate and the average molecular weight properties. The spherical and oblate ellipsoidal shapes of catalyst p...
متن کاملChain Diffusion in Lamellar Block Copolymers
Diffusion of symmetric diblock copolymer chains in macroscopically oriented lamellar block copolymers are studied in a molecular dynamics simulation. Results for diffusion constant both parallel D‖ and perpendicular D⊥ to the lamellar planes are compared to results in the disordered one phase region. For diblocks of length N = 40 (1.1Ne) and 100 (3Ne), where Ne is the entanglement length of a h...
متن کاملControlling Exciton Diffusion and Fullerene Distribution in Photovoltaic Blends by Side Chain Modification
The influence of crystallinity on exciton diffusion and fullerene distribution was investigated by blending amorphous and semicrystalline copolymers. We measured exciton diffusion and fluorescence quenching in such blends by dispersing fullerene molecules into them. We find that the diffusion length is more than two times higher in the semicrystalline copolymer than in the amorphous copolymer. ...
متن کاملSorption and Transport of Water Vapor in Amphiphilic Block Copolymer Films
Water vapor sorption in films consisting of poly(ethylene oxide)-poly(propylene oxide)-poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO-PPO-PEO) amphiphilic block copolymers has been measured gravimetrically at air relative humidity in the range 38–94% at 248C. The water sorption isotherm was obtained and compared to data for water vapor desorption (drying) for the same system. The kinetics of water vapor sorption we...
متن کاملExperimental and Theoretical Investigation of Gelation Time of Nanostructured Polymer Gels by Central Composite Approach
Currently available polymers as a component of in-situ gels are unsuitable for treating high-temperature/high-salinity reservoirs due to their chemical and thermal degradation. In this study, a new copolymer-based gel system including high molecular weight nanostructured polymers (NSPs) was developed to address the excessive water production problem in reservoirs under harsh conditions. The sta...
