Monte Carlo Simulations of the Morphology of ABC Star Polymers Using the Diagonal Bond Method
Abstract
The microphase-separated morphology of ABC three-arm star-shaped copolymers with arm-length ratio 1:1: x is investigated by a recently proposed simulation method, the diagonal bond method. Five kinds of two-dimensional (cylindrical) phases, three kinds of lamellar-type phases and two kinds of continuous matrix phases are discovered. The phase diagram is presented: The progression of the morphologies as a function of x is the following: lamella + sphere; five polygonal cylinders, [8.8.4], [6.6.6], [8.6.4; 8.6.6], [10.6.4; 10.6.4; 10.6.6], [12.6.4]; perforated layer; lamella + cylinder; columnar piled disk; lamella-in-sphere. Two remarkable features of ABC star polymer systems are found: first, in all phases junction point monomers gather on lines where three interfaces meet, and second, the section of the cylindrical phase becomes the tessellation of even-numbered polygons. The free energy of the system is also calculated in the strong segregation limit for four kinds of simple phases, and the results are consistent with the simulations.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
