Fluctuation effects in the theory of microphase separation of diblock copolymers in the presence of an electric field

open access: yes, 2007
We generalize the Fredrickson-Helfand theory of the microphase separation in symmetric diblock copolymer melts by taking into account the influence of a time-independent homogeneous electric field on the composition fluctuations within the self ...

Collapse dynamics of copolymers in a poor solvent: Influence of hydrodynamic interactions and chain sequence

open access: yes, 2010
We investigate the dynamics of the collapse of a single copolymer chain, when the solvent quality is suddenly quenched from good to poor. We employ Brownian dynamics simulations of a bead-spring chain model and incorporate fluctuating hydrodynamic ...

Identifying the nature of surface chemical modification for directed self-assembly of block copolymers

open access: yesBeilstein Journal of Nanotechnology, 2017
In recent years, block copolymer lithography has emerged as a viable alternative technology for advanced lithography. In chemical-epitaxy-directed self-assembly, the interfacial energy between the substrate and each block copolymer domain plays a key ...

Effect of Sinusoidal Surface Roughness and Energy on the Orientation of Cylinder-Forming Block Copolymer Thin Films

open access: yes, 2018
We explore the relative stability of three possible orientations of cylinder-forming di-block copolymer on a sinusoidally corrugated substrate. The cylinders can be aligned either parallel to the substrate, with their long axis being oriented along or ...

Self-organization of stack-up block copolymers into polymeric supramolecules

open access: yesNanoscale Research Letters, 2007
Polyethylene oxide –b– polypropylene oxide -b- polyethylene oxide (EO106PO70EO106) block copolymer self-organizes into polymeric supramolecules, characterized by NMR as phase transition from the isotropic stack-up block structure to the ...

A study for the static properties of symmetric linear multiblock copolymers under poor solvent conditions

open access: yes, 2012
We use a standard bead-spring model and molecular dynamics simulations to study the static properties of symmetric linear multiblock copolymer chains and their blocks under poor solvent conditions in a dilute solution from the regime close to theta ...

Emergent symmetries in block copolymer epitaxy

open access: yesNature Communications, 2019
The directed self-assembly (DSA) of block copolymers (BCPs) has shown great promise in fabricating customized two-dimensional (2D) geometries at the nano- and mesoscale.
