Self-assembly of block copolymers grafted onto a flat substrate: Recent progress in theory and simulations

Wang Zheng, Li Bao-Hui^†,

Morphologies of AB diblock copolymer brushes in a solvent that is selective to the grafted A-blocks for different lengths of the B-block with a low grafting densityσ= 0.028: (a)N_A= 4,N_B= 4; (b)N_A= 4,N_B= 24; (c)N_A= 10,N_B= 24. Color scheme: A, black, B, green.^[53]Reprinted with permission from Yin Y, Sun P, Li B, Chen T, Jin Q, Ding D and Shi A C 2007Macromolecules405161. Copyright 2007, American Chemical Society.
