Scaling Laws in Microphase Separation of Diblock Copolymers
In this note, we study a nonlocal variational problem modeling microphase separation of diblock copolymers ([22], [3], [21]). We apply certain new tools developed in [5] to determine the principal part of the asymptotic expansion of the minimum free energy. That is, we prove a scaling law for the minimum energy and confirm that it is attained by a simple periodic lamellar structure. A previous ...
متن کاملStructural rheology of microphase separated diblock copolymers
We formulate a viscoelastic theory for interconnected microphase separated structures such as a double gyroid in diblock copolymer melts. We consider the energy increase and the energy dissipation due to the deformation of interconnected periodic domains. The dominant elastic part agrees with previous analytical results obtained by a phase formulation of deformations. It is shown that a viscous...
متن کاملOn the Derivation of a Density Functional Theory for Microphase Separation of Diblock Copolymers
We consider here the problem of phase separation in copolymer melts. The Ohta-Kawasaki density functional theory gives rise to a nonlocal Cahn-Hilliard-like functional, promoting the use of ansatz-free mathematical tools for the investigation of minimizers. In this article we re-derive this functional as an offspring of the self-consistent mean field theory, connecting all parameters to the fun...
متن کاملOn the Phase Diagram for Microphase Separation of Diblock Copolymers: An Approach via a Nonlocal Cahn--Hilliard Functional
We consider analytical and numerical aspects of the phase diagram for microphase separation of diblock copolymers. Our approach is variational and is based upon a density functional theory which entails minimization of a nonlocal Cahn–Hilliard functional. Based upon two parameters which characterize the phase diagram, we give a preliminary analysis of the phase plane. That is, we divide the pla...
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 ...
