A single copolymer chain consisting of multiple flexible (F) and semiflexible (S) blocks has been studied using a continuum bead-spring model by Stochastic Approximation Monte Carlo simulations, which determine the density of states of the model. The only difference between F and S blocks is the intramolecular bending potential, all non-bonded interactions are equal. The state diagrams for this class of models display multiple nematic phases in the collapsed state, characterized through a demixing of the blocks of different stiffness and orientational ordering of the stiff blocks. We observe dumbbell-like morphologies, lamellar phases, and for the larger block lengths also Saturn-like structures with a core of flexible segments and the stiff segments forming a ring around the core.
