Binary Blends of Diblock Copolymers: An Efficient Route to Complex Spherical Packing Phases
Jiayu Xie, Yu Li, An-Chang Shi
The phase behaviour of binary blends composed of AB and AB diblock copolymers is systematically studied using the polymeric self-consistent field theory, focusing o…
Binary Blends of Diblock Copolymers: An Effective Route to Novel Bicontinuous Phases
Chi To Lai, An-Chang Shi
The formation of various bicontinuous phases from binary blends of linear AB diblock copolymers (DBCPs) is studied using the polymeric self-consistent field theory. The theoretical…
Transition pathways connecting crystals and quasicrystals
Jianyuan Yin, Kai Jiang, An-Chang Shi +2
Due to structural incommensurability, the emergence of a quasicrystal from a crystalline phase represents a challenge to computational physics. Here the nucleation of quasicrystals…
Pathways connecting two opposed bilayers with a fusion pore: A molecularly-informed phase field approach
Yucen Han, Zirui Xu, An-Chang Shi +1
A phase field model with two phase fields, representing the concentration and the head-tail separation of amphiphilic molecules, respectively, has been constructed using an extensi…
Elastic Property of Membranes Self-assembled from Diblock and Triblock Copolymers
Rui Xu, Ashkan Dehghan, An-Chang Shi +1
The elastic property of membranes self-assembled from AB diblock and ABA triblock copolymers, as coarse-grained model of lipids and the bolalipids, are studied using the self-consi…
Self-Consistent Field Theory of Inhomogeneous Polymeric Systems: A Variational Derivation
An-Chang Shi
The self-consistent field theory (SCFT) is a powerful framework for the study of the phase behavior and structural properties of many-body systems. In particular, polymeric SCFT ha…
