摘要

Abstract

We use a Monte Carlo method to study the phase and interfacial behaviors of A-

-B diblocks in a blend of homopolymers

A and B

which are confined between two asymmetric hard and impenetrable walls. Our results show that

when the interaction strength is weak

the block copolymers are uniformly distributed in the ternary mixtures under considered concentrations. Under strong interaction strength

distribution region of the block copolymers changes from a single smooth interface to a curved interface or multi-layer interface in the ternary mixtures. Furthermore

our findings show that with increasing volume fraction of A-

-B diblock copolymer (

)

copolymer profiles broaden while

≥ 0.4

a lamellar phase is formed and by further increasing

more thinner layers are observed. Moreover

the results show that

with the increase of

the phase interface first gradually transforms from plane to a curved surface rather than micelle or lamellar phase while with the increase of the interaction between A and B segments (

)

the copolymer chains not only get stretched in the direction perpendicular to the interface

but also are oriented. The simulations also reveal that the difference between symmetric and asymmetric copolymers is negligible in statistics if the lengths of two blocks are comparable.
