Improved convergence in block copolymer self-consistent field theory by Anderson mixing

RB Thompson, KO Rasmussen… - The Journal of chemical …, 2004 - pubs.aip.org
A modification to real space polymeric self-consistent field theory algorithms that greatly
improves the convergence properties is presented. The method is based on Anderson …

Continuous polydispersity in a self-consistent field theory for diblock copolymers

SW Sides, GH Fredrickson - The Journal of chemical physics, 2004 - pubs.aip.org
An efficient algorithm is presented for numerically evaluating a self-consistent field theoretic
(SCFT) model of an AB diblock copolymer that incorporates continuous polydispersity in one …

Self-consistent field theory of polyelectrolyte systems

Q Wang, T Taniguchi… - The Journal of Physical …, 2004 - ACS Publications
A self-consistent field theory is applied to inhomogeneous polyelectrolyte systems. We
consider the smeared and the annealed charge distributions, corresponding to strongly and …

Self-assembling block copolymer systems involving competing length scales: A route toward responsive materials

R Nap, I Erukhimovich, G Ten Brinke - Macromolecules, 2004 - ACS Publications
The phase behavior of block copolymers melts involving competing length scales, ie, able to
microphase separate on two different length scales, is theoretically investigated using a self …

Self-consistent field theory of block copolymers

AC Shi - Developments in Block Copolymer Science and …, 2004 - Wiley Online Library
Block copolymers, in which two or more chemically different subchains form a single
molecule, are a fascinating class of soft materials with unique structural and mechanical …

Elastic moduli of multiblock copolymers in the lamellar phase

RB Thompson, KO Rasmussen… - The Journal of chemical …, 2004 - pubs.aip.org
We study the linear elastic response of multiblock copolymer melts in the lamellar phase,
where the molecules are composed of tethered symmetric AB diblock copolymers. We use a …

Ordering mechanisms in triblock copolymers

P Maniadis, RB Thompson, KØ Rasmussen… - Physical Review E, 2004 - APS
The ordering mechanisms for an ABC triblock copolymer system are studied using self-
consistent field theory. We find a two-phase mechanism, similar to what has been suggested …

Tunable nanopatterning by diblock copolymers in small confinements

KØ Rasmussen - Journal of Polymer Science Part B: Polymer …, 2004 - Wiley Online Library
Here we study the effects of confinement on the self‐assembly of diblock copolymers.
Specifically, we study the hexagonal cylindrical phase as it self‐assembles within a narrow …
