Stabilizing Phases of Block Copolymers with Gigantic Spheres via Designed Chain Architectures
Abstract
It is generally believed that the spherical domains self-assembled from AB-type block copolymers are composed of the minority A blocks with a volume fraction of fA < 1/2. Breaking this generic rule so that the spherical domains are formed by the majority A blocks (fA > 1/2) requires mechanisms to drastically expand the stable region of spherical packing phases. Self-consistent field theory predicts that dendron-like AB-type block copolymers, …
