Dynamics 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 کاملRenormalization of the one-loop theory of fluctuations in polymer blends and diblock copolymer melts.
Attempts to use coarse-grained molecular theories to calculate corrections to the random-phase approximation (RPA) for correlations in polymer mixtures have been plagued by an unwanted sensitivity to the value of an arbitrary cutoff length, i.e., by an ultraviolet (UV) divergence. We analyze the UV divergence of the inverse structure factor S(-1)(k) predicted by a "one-loop" approximation simil...
متن کاملDiblock Copolymer / Homopolymer Blends: Derivation of a Density Functional Theory
Melts of diblock copolymer / homopolymer blends exhibit multiscale phase separation: (i) macrophase separation into homopolymerand copolymer-rich macrodomains followed by (ii) microphase separation into Aand B-rich microdomains within the copolymer-rich macrodomains (cf. [16, 17, 26]). Following our previous derivation in [6], we derive a density functional theory for blends. This theory has be...
متن کاملNucleation 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 کاملNumerical Continuation for a Diblock Copolymer Model in One Dimension
Diblock copolymers are a class of materials formed by the reaction of two linear polymers. The different structures taken on by these polymers grant them special properties, which can prove useful in applications such as development of new adhesives and asphalt additives. The diblock copolymer equation governs the formation of these polymers. Using the software package AUTO, continuation analys...
