Nucleation in binary polymer blends: Effects of adding diblock copolymers
The effects of adding AB diblock copolymers to A/B binary blends on the structure and thermodynamics of critical nuclei are studied using the self-consistent field theory. At a fixed ratio of the amount of the two homopolymers, depending on the degree of polymerization and composition of the diblocks, their addition to the blends can either increase or decrease the nucleation free energy barrie...
متن کاملLifshitz points in blends of AB and BC diblock copolymers
– We consider microand macro-phase separation in blends of AB and BC flexible diblock copolymers. We show that, depending on architecture, a number of phase diagram topologies are possible. Microphase separation or macrophase separation can occur, and there are a variety of possible Lifshitz points. Because of the rich parameter space, Lifshitz points of multiple order are possible. We demonstr...
متن کاملDynamics and order–disorder transitions in bidisperse diblock copolymer blends
We employ the dynamic extension of self-consistent field theory (DSCFT) to study dynamics and order–disorder transitions (ODT) in AB diblock copolymer binary mixtures of two different monodisperse chain lengths by imitating the dynamic storage modulus G0 corresponding to any given morphology in the oscillatory shear measurements. The different polydispersity index (PDI) is introduced by binary ...
متن کاملQuantum Chemical Modeling of Hydrogen Bonding in Ionic Liquids
Hydrogen bonding (H-bonding) is an important and very general phenomenon. H-bonding is part of the basis of life in DNA, key in controlling the properties of water and ice, and critical to modern applications such as crystal engineering, catalysis applications, pharmaceutical and agrochemical development. H-bonding also plays a significant role for many ionic liquids (IL), determining the secon...

molecules to evolve in the test tube. With the discovery of catalytic RNA, and advances in nucleic acid amplification techniques such as the polymerase chain reaction, it became possible to construct laboratory systems that allow the Darwinian evolution of functional RNA (and later DNA) molecules. This is not evolution based on natural selection, but rather directed evolution based on selection...
