MeSH headings : Computer Simulation; Crystallization / methods; Macromolecular Substances / chemistry; Models, Chemical; Models, Molecular; Nanostructures / chemistry; Nanostructures / ultrastructure; Particle Size; Phase Transition; Polymers / chemistry; Solvents / chemistry
topics (OpenAlex): Block Copolymer Self-Assembly; Advanced Polymer Synthesis and Characterization; Polymer Surface Interaction Studies
TL;DR: A self-consistent field theoretical approach is used to quantitatively evaluate the segregation and interfacial excess of low-molar-mass and nanoscale species in ordered triblock copolymers as functions of block selectivity and inclusion size, and the predictions are found to agree with the morphology observed in a model triblockCopolymer/nanoparticle composite, demonstrating the generality of this approach.
