Kinetic theory of microphase separation in block copolymers
A semiphenomenological theory that has the advantage of taking into account nonlinear and nonlocal contributions in the free energy for microphase separation of block copolymers is proposed. A kinetic nonlinear equation defining the process of structure formation from a melt is obtained, and its analytical solution at the melt-structure transition temperature is examined. In this region, the st...
متن کاملFabrication of Nanodots Using Microphase Separation of Block Copolymer
Silicon microchips have continued to grow progressively smallerto meet the demands of a competitive market. The next step indevelopment will send the chips from micro-order to nano-order,giving rise to new and challenging complications. Here, twomethods are explored to develop such technology. The firstinvolves molecular beam epitaxial (MBE) growth of isotopicallycon...
متن کاملMicrophase separation in nonequilibrium biomembranes.
Compositional heterogeneities of cell membranes are thought to play an important role in many physiological processes. We study how variations in the membrane composition can be driven by nonthermal fluctuating forces and therefore show how these can occur relatively far from any critical point for the membrane. We show that the membrane steady state is not only controlled by the strength of th...
متن کاملMicrophase separation in binary polymeric micelles
2014 A theoretical analysis of microphase separation in binary micelles is presented. We consider micelles consisting of two kinds of diblock copolymers such that the micellar corona contains two chemically distinct block types (A and B). Both intramicellar and intermicellar processes may occur. We focus on intermicellar segregation occurring after a quench yielding complete intramicellar micro...
متن کاملChemical Interactions and Their Role in the Microphase Separation of Block Copolymer Thin Films
The thermodynamics of self-assembling systems are discussed in terms of the chemical interactions and the intermolecular forces between species. It is clear that there are both theoretical and practical limitations on the dimensions and the structural regularity of these systems. These considerations are made with reference to the microphase separation that occurs in block copolymer (BCP) syste...
