External Potential Dynamics Simulation of Morphological Transitions in Diblock Copolymer Melt under an Electric Field

Article Preview

Abstract:

In this study, we study morphological transitions of diblock copolymer subjected to an applied external electric field by means of external potential dynamics simulation. With this method, the lamellar and the cylindrical phase aligned along the electric field directions are presented, and the kinetic pathways of lamellae are investigated.
