چکیده
We investigate trie behavior of symmetric AB random copolymer melt near trie point of microphase separation in trie framework of a one-trop (Hartree-Fock) approximation, that exactly salves trie problem. We bave shown that composition fluctuations result to complete elimination of trie microphase separation predicted in trie frarnework a mean-field approximation [1-5]. Using variational techniques trie temperature dependence of trie density-density correlation function and its length scales are calculated. Trie diagonal in trie replica

Coil-globule transition for regular, random, and specially designed copolymers: Monte Carlo simulation and self-consistent field theory.
The coil-globule transition has been studied for A-B copolymer chains both by means of lattice Monte Carlo (MC) simulations using bond fluctuation algorithm and by a numerical self-consistent-field (SCF) method. Copolymer chains of fixed length with A and B monomeric units with regular, random, and specially designed (proteinlike) primary sequences have been investigated. The dependence of the ...
متن کاملDiblock Copolymers at a Homopolymer–Homopolymer–Interface: A Monte Carlo Simulation
The properties of diluted symmetric A-B diblock copolymers at the interface between A and B homopolymer phases are studied by means of Monte Carlo (MC) simulations of the bond fluctuation model. We calculate segment density profiles as well as orientational properties of segments, of A and B blocks, and of the whole chain. Our data support the picture of oriented “dumbbells”, which consist of m...
متن کاملNew method for estimation of the scale of fluctuation of geotechnical properties in natural deposits
One of the main distinctions between geomaterials and other engineering materials is the spatial variation of their properties in different directions. This characteristic of geomaterials -so called heterogeneity- is studied herewith. Several spatial distributions are introduced to describe probabilistic variation of geotechnical properties of soils. Among all, the absolute normal distribution ...
متن کاملSmall Characteristic Length at the Glass Transition Cooperativity Onset
A fluctuation theory approach to a cooperativity onset of the dynamic glass transition is described. Recent dielectric and heat capacity spectroscopy (HCS) experiments for several random copolymers of n-butyl methacrylate with styrene indicate a steep linear increase of relaxation intensities (lie, chop) and of square root of cooperativity (Nj/~)
متن کاملFluctuation effects in the theory of weak supercrystallization in block copolymer systems of complicated chemical structure
To investigate the influence of fluctuation effects on conditions of microphase separation in two-component incompressible molten block copolymers of complicated chemical structure an altemative and more general fornlulation of the weak crystallization theory is developed using a new variational principle for the calculation of the free
