Transformation kinetics of BCC sphere morphology of diblock copolymer under electric field

ORAL

Abstract

We performed Dynamic Self-Consistent Field simulation of BCC sphere morphology of diblock copolymers under an electric field. Several distinct kinetic pathways were determined. Different pathways were found depending on the strength of the applied electric field and orientation of the BCC domain. The fastest growing mode was found in 111 directions. Dynamic critical exponents were deducted from the simulation data. The results are compared with the previous works on different morphologies and on BCC morphology by different techniques.
