Abstract:
An overview is given of data for the 7-16-7 triblock copolymer melt from the quenching simulation experiments. The lamellar periodicity is shown to scale with temperature as D∝(T*)-0.21 in an agreement with theory and experiment. Results indicate that in block copolymer simulations quenching should be considered a more favorable method to achieve lower energy states.
