Block copolymer-nanorod co-assembly in thin films: effects of rod-rod interaction and confinement
Javier Diaz, Marco Pinna, Andrei V. Zvelindovsky +2
Simulations and experiments of nanorods (NRs) show that co-assembly with block copolymer (BCP) melts leads to the formation of a superstructure of side-to-side NRs perpendicular to…
Phase Behavior of Block Copolymer Nanocomposite Systems
Javier Diaz, Marco Pinna, Andrei V. Zvelindovsky +1
Nanocomposite materials made of block copolymer and nanoparticles display properties which can be different from the purely polymeric matrix. The resulting material is a crossover…
Large scale three dimensional simulations of hybrid block copolymer/nanoparticle systems
Javier Diaz, Marco Pinna, Andrei V. Zvelindovsky +1
Block copolymer melts self-assemble in the bulk into a variety of nanostructures, making them perfect candidates to template the position of nanoparticles. The morphological change…
Non-spherical nanoparticles in block copolymer composites: nanosquares, nanorods and diamonds
Javier Diaz, Marco Pinna, Andrei V. Zvelindovsky +1
A hybrid block copolymer(BCP) nanocomposite computational model is proposed to study nanoparticles(NPs) with a generalised shape including squares, rectangles and rhombus. Simulati…
Co-assembly of Janus nanoparticles in block copolymer systems
Javier Diaz, Marco Pinna, Andrei Zvelindovsky +1
Block copolymer are ideal matrices to control the localisation of colloids. Furthermore, anisotropic nanoparticles such as Janus nanoparticles possess an additional orientational d…
Cell Dynamic Simulations of Diblock Copolymer/Colloid Systems
Javier Diaz, Marco Pinna, Andrei Zvelindovsky +2
The presence of nanoparticles in a diblock copolymer leads to changes in the morphology and properties of the matrix and can produce highly organized hybrid materials. The resultin…
