Managing Complex Self-Assembly in Block Copolymers

Francois Drolet

Hyperdigm Research

I will discuss an implementation of polymer self-consistent mean field theory for block copolymers that facilitates combinatorial screening of new types of self-assembly. I will show several new mesophases obtained by applying the method to melts of ABC and ABCA multiblock copolymers. I will also discuss how the approach can be used to help identify molecular designs that optimize physical properties such as toughness.
