LCST and Closed-Loop Phase Behavior in Non-Associating Fully Symmetric Multicomponent Polymer Systems
Artem Petrov, Alfredo Alexander-Katz
Multicomponent liquids can phase separate upon heating, exhibiting a lower critical solution temperature (LCST). Moreover, a narrow class of materials can undergo disordering trans…

Surface-Adsorbed Nanodroplets of Symmetric Diblock Copolymers Form Versatile and Stimuli-Responsive Nanostructures
Artem Petrov, Guillermo A. Hernández-Mendoza, Alfredo Alexander-Katz
Block copolymers often create droplets when placed on a substrate. Such nanostructured droplets can be arranged into regular microstructured arrays, thereby forming hierarchically…

Simple Calibration of Block Copolymer Melt Models
Artem Petrov, Hejin Huang, Alfredo Alexander-Katz
According to the universality hypothesis, the phase behavior of different block copolymer melt models having fixed composition depends solely on two parameters: the invariant chain…
