We develop a numerical method for examining complex morphologies in thin films of block
copolymer using self-consistent field theory. Applying the method to confined films of …

The standard parameters controlling AB diblock copolymer phase behavior are χN and fA,
where χ is an A‐B segment interaction parameter, N is the overall degree of polymerization …

Copolymer systems can self-assemble into diverse nanostructures, which have gained
significant attention because of their diverse and expanding range of practical applications …

We reexamine the stability of hexagonally modulated layer (HML) and hexagonally
perforated layer (HPL) morphologies in a number of block copolymer systems of low to …

Simultaneous small-angle scattering and in situ dynamic mechanical measurements offer an
excellent opportunity to relate the macroscopic dynamical mechanical response of block …

Cell dynamics simulations are a powerful tool to simulate kinetic processes in phase
separating systems. Here we review the technique and its application to block copolymers …

The stability of the diblock copolymer ordered phases is investigated by means of a novel
theory of anisotropic composition fluctuations. The analogy between a polymer chain in a …

The kinetic pathway of the order–order transition (OOT) from a hexagonally packed cylinder
(HEX) to a hexagonally perforated layer (HPL) phase in polystyrene-block-poly (2 …

The cylinder-to-gyroid transition in a block copolymer solution has been studied using a
combination of rheology and small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS). A poly (styrene-b …

The topography of the Landau free energy surface of a diblock copolymer melt is found to
exhibit a low-energy pathway connecting the local minima of the cylinder (C) and gyroid (G) …
