Abstract:The self-assembly behaviors of the mixtures composed of linear and cyclic AB diblock copolymers in Aselective solvents are investigated by means of Monte Carlo simulation. The simulation results indicate that a typical morphological transition of the aggregate from sphere to cylinder, to lamella, and then to vesicle can be achieved via solely adjusting the molar fraction of the cyclic diblock copolymers in the mixture. Furthermore, the simulation results show that under the condition that the pure cyclic and l… Show more
