Investigation of crystallization of diblock copolymer by dynamic monte carlo simulation

Abstract

This research work focuses on the understanding of interplay between crystallization and microphase separation and their influence on the final crystal morphology of diblock copolymer The aim is to relate the crystallization mechanism with segregation strength and block asymmetry We investigate the crystallization of double crystalline symmetric A B diblock copolymer wherein the melting temperature of A block is larger than B block As a result crystallization of A block is followed by the
