Self-Assembly of ABC Star Triblock Copolymers under a Cylindrical Confinement
Abstract
Self-assembly of ABC star triblock copolymers confined in cylindrical nanopores is studied using real-space self-consistent mean-field theory. Specifically, the investigation focuses on the confined self-assembly of a triblock copolymer which forms hierarchical lamellae in the bulk. Generically, the hierarchical lamellae can be parallel or perpendicular to the pore surfaces. Concentric rings of A and B/C lamellae are formed in the parallel …
