Effect of Molecular Asymmetry on the Formation of Asymmetric Nanostructures in ABC-Type Block Copolymers

Qingshu Dong et al.

Summary: By constructing the phase diagram of ABC triblock copolymers using self-consistent field theory, various hybrid morphologies have been predicted. The combination of compositional asymmetry and topological asymmetry provides opportunities for fabricating novel hybrid morphologies.

Hexagonally Packed Cylindrical Structures with Multiple Satellites from Pentablock Quarterpolymers of the AB1CB2D Type and Their Blends with Homopolymers

Makoto Suzuki et al.

Summary: Three kinds of hexagonally packed cylindrical structures with satellites have been discovered in a neat pentablock quarterpolymer and block polymer/homopolymer blends. These structures are formed due to enhanced miscibility of A-chains with added homopolymers.

Effect of branching architecture on the self-assembly of symmetric ABC-type block terpolymers

Luyang Li et al.

Summary: It is well known that phase boundaries of AB-type block copolymers can be deflected by designing asymmetric architectures. A symmetric ABC-type pentablock terpolymer was designed by branching B-blocks, showing control over the self-assembly behaviors through the length ratio of the middle B-block. Interestingly, a transition from spherical phase to gyroid phase without the cylindrical phase was observed, attributed to three complex effects including the branching effect, packing frustration, and bridging middle B-block.

Formation of complex spherical packing phases in diblock copolymer/homopolymer blends

Jiayu Xie et al.

Summary: The study systematically investigates the formation and relative stability of spherical packing phases in binary blends composed of AB-diblock copolymers and A-homopolymers. Various complex spherical packing phases can be induced by the addition of homopolymers, with the sizes of A-domains being regulated by the differential localization of A-homopolymers. The addition of long homopolymers stabilizes the complex spherical packing phases, while short homopolymers result in an expanded region of the cylindrical phase.
