摘要
The self-assembly process of a symmetric diblock copolymer A(5)B(5) in a selective solvent is studied using the dissipative particle dynamics method. Four types of morphologies can form, including lamellae, perforated lamellae, cylinders and spheres. Three phase diagrams are presented to demonstrate the effect of the concentration and interaction parameters on the ordered microstructures. Radial distribution function (RDF) characterizing the spatial correlations of the blocks is calculated. RDF not only confirms the morphological observations, but also provides more quantitative details. The evolution process of hexagonally packed cylinder and lamellae is also illustrated.
