Equilibrium properties of a diblock copolymer lamellar phase confined between flat plates
Abstract
We study theoretically the equilibrium behavior of the lamellar phase of an A-B diblock copolymer melt. Each lamellar layer is an A-B,B-A repeat unit and n such layers are confined between, and parallel to, two identical flat plates. We find that the configurations with a half-odd-integer number of layers occur only when the difference between the two polymer-plate surface tensions is small, and then only below some critical plate separation. We calculate the discontinuity in the pressure at the transition point between two different values of n.

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.
