Self‐Assembly of Nonfrustrated ABCBA Linear Pentablock Terpolymers

Abstract The effects of compositions, interaction parameters, and number of blocks on the self‐assembly of nonfrustrated ABCBA linear pentablock terpolymer melts are investigated and compared with the corresponding ABC linear triblock terpolymers using the self‐consistent field theory. For the case of symmetric interaction parameters ( χ AB N = χ BC N ) and majority B‐blocks, both ABC triblocks and ABCBA pentablocks can form intriguing A‐ and …
