Phase behavior of randomly crosslinked diblock copolymers — •Gaoyuan Wang, Annette Zippelius, and Marcus Müller — Institut für Theoretische Physik, Georg-August-Universität Göttingen, Deutschland
We have investigated the structure and the phase behavior of randomly crosslinked polymer networks formed by connecting symmetric diblock copolymers via covalent bonds. Particle-base Monte-Carlo simulation is applied to study the order-disorder transition, controlled by the Flory-Huggins parameter χ. We provide an accurate phase diagram, in which the χc N of the ODT is shown as a function of the crosslink density p and Flory-Huggins parameter of the preparation state χp N. Depending on χp N, the random crosslinks support the disordered or periodically ordered state over a larger range of incompatibilities (χ N), because the irreversible bonds impart a memory of the structure that existed at their formation. Knowing the amount of crosslinking required to retain a microphase-separated or disordered structure at a χ N that considerably differs from the preparation state is helpful for generating desired states, which may only be metastable without crosslinks.
