Equilibrium Phase Behaviour of Liquid Crystalline Polymer Brushes
(University of Waterloo, 2019-08-29)Using self-consistent field theory of worm-like chains with Maier-Saupe interactions we study the equilibrium phase behaviour of liquid crystalline (LC) polymer brushes. In a good solvent the brush extends out normal to ... -
Simple and Accurate Calibration of the Flory-Huggins Interaction Parameter
(University of Waterloo, 2021-09-01)This work improves on a standard method used to calibrate χ, the Flory-Huggins interaction parameter, in experimental systems. The common method is to fit the order-disorder transition (ODT) of symmetric diblock copolymer ...
