Ordering mechanisms in triblock copolymers
(American Physical Society, 2004)The ordering mechanisms for an ABC triblock copolymer system are studied using self-consistent field theory. We find a two-phase mechanism, similar to what has been suggested experimentally two-step mecha- nism. Analysis ... -
Origins of Elastic Properties in Ordered Block Copolymer/Nanoparticle Composites
(American Chemical Society, 2004)We predict a diblock copolymer melt in the lamellar phase with added spherical nanoparticles that have an affinity for one block to have a lower tensile modulus than a pure diblock copolymer system. This weakening is due ... -
Self-Assembly of Amphiphilic Nanoparticle-Coil “Tadpole” Macromolecules
(American Chemical Society, 2004)None.
