Abstract

Abstract : EXAMINING CRYSTALLIZATION BEHAVIOR OF DIBLOCK COPOLYMERS FROM MICROPHASE SEPARATED MELT In their work reported in article e10089, Kundu and colleagues explore the crystallization behavior of diblock copolymers instigated from microphase separated melt by Dynamic Monte Carlo Simulation. Dynamic Monte Carlo Simulation is one of the potential tools that can be used to study the phase transition of a polymer. The influence of thermal history determines the final crystal morphology of diblock copolymers. Thermal annealing endorses coalescence of melt microdomains with more relaxed structures, which remain intact after non‐isothermal crystallization (left images). In contrast, microphase separated melt without annealing offers morphological perturbation during non‐isothermal crystallization (right images).
