Chemical compatibilization, macro-, and microphase separation of heteroassociative polymers

SPO Danielsen - Macromolecules, 2023 - ACS Publications
A mean-field equilibrium theory for reversible network formation due to heterotypic pairwise
interactions in mixtures of associative polymers is extended via a weak inhomogeneity …

Formation of Disordered Cocontinuous Phases by Randomly Linked Star Copolymers

J Ju, RC Hayward - Macromolecules, 2024 - ACS Publications
Cocontinuous polymeric nanostructures have garnered significant interest due to their ability
to combine different properties of two separate polymer domains. Randomly linked …

Effects of randomly end-linked copolymer network parameters on the formation of disordered cocontinuous phases

D Zeng, RC Hayward - Macromolecules, 2019 - ACS Publications
Randomly end-linked copolymer networks (RECNs) provide a robust route to cocontinuous
nanoscale structures, yielding opportunities to integrate desirable and distinct properties of …

Self-consistent field approach for cross-linked copolymer materials

F Schmid - Physical Review Letters, 2013 - APS
A generalized self-consistent field approach for polymer networks with a fixed topology is
developed.<? format?> It is shown that the theory reproduces the localization of cross-links …

The structure and phase transitions in polymer blends, diblock copolymers and liquid crystalline polymers: The Landau‐Ginzburg approach

R Hołyst, TA Vilgis - Macromolecular theory and simulations, 1996 - Wiley Online Library
The polymer systems are discussed in the framework of the Landau‐Ginzburg model. The
model is derived from the mesoscopic Edwards Hamiltonian via the conditional partition …

Stress-induced ordering in microphase-separated multicomponent networks

S Panyukov, M Rubinstein - Macromolecules, 1996 - ACS Publications
Polymer blends, mixtures, or block copolymers can be cross-linked in a homogeneous state
forming a multicomponent network. Upon cooling such network, the repulsion between …

Monte Carlo study of the microphase separation of cross-linked polymer blends

S Lay, JU Sommer, A Blumen - The Journal of Chemical Physics, 2000 - pubs.aip.org
We present large scale Monte Carlo simulations of polymer blends, cross-linked in the
absence of interactions and quenched into the two-phase region. Our results show, in …

Pore size distribution induced by microphase separation: effect of the leaving group during polycondensation

S Srebnik, O Lev, D Avnir - Chemistry of materials, 2001 - ACS Publications
A mean field theoretical model is developed to investigate the porosity of cross-linked
copolymer networks formed by polycondensation. It is found that cross-linking induces …

Microphase separation of crosslinked polymer blends in solution

M Benhamou, A Derouiche, A Bettachy - The Journal of chemical …, 1997 - pubs.aip.org
We consider here a polymer blend made of two crosslinked polymers A and B of different
chemical nature, in the presence of a common solvent assumed to be good for both species …

Glassy correlations and microstructures in randomly cross-linked homopolymer blends

C Wald, PM Goldbart, A Zippelius - The Journal of chemical physics, 2006 - pubs.aip.org
