Diblock copolymers in a cylindrical pore

M Pinna, X Guo, AV Zvelindovsky - The Journal of chemical physics, 2009 - pubs.aip.org
We show that a simple Ginzburg–Landau type theory can predict a tremendous rich “zoo” of
diblock copolymer morphologies in cylindrical nanopores. Using the cell dynamics …

Origin of microstructures from confined asymmetric diblock copolymers

P Chen, H Liang, AC Shi - Macromolecules, 2007 - ACS Publications
