Phase Behavior of Semiflexible Block Copolymer droplets in isotropic homopolymer matrix
ORAL
Abstract
We investigate the phase behavior of semiflexible-coil block copolymer droplets in the matrix of isotropic homopolymers by using an efficient pseudo spectral method to solve self-consistent field theory (SCFT) equations. The semiflexible blocks are described with worm-like chain model and the Maier-Saupe orientational interactions are included to deal with semiflexible chains. We will interested that the influence of microphase separation of semiflexible-coil block copolymers coupling with liquid crystalline behavior of rod blocks on the interface and droplets shapes.
