Effect of Nanoscopic Particles on the Mesophase Structure of Diblock Copolymers

The effect of nanoscopic particles on the mesophase structure of diblock copolymers was discussed. The parameters of phase diagram were calculated using the segregation scaling theory (SST) as a function of the particle interaction parameters for the entire range of the diblock compositions. The results showed that the morphologies of organic/inorganic materials were tailored by adding particles of specific sizes and chemistry.
