Theoretical coarse-graining approach to bridge length scales in diblock copolymer liquids
Theoretical coarse-graining approach to bridge length scales in diblock copolymer liquids
A microscopic theory for coarse graining diblock copolymers into dumbbells of interacting soft colloidal particles has been developed based on the solution of liquid-state integral equations. The Ornstein-Zernike equation is solved to provide a mesoscopic description of the diblock copolymer system at the level of block centers of mass, and …
