TL;DR: Two intermediate phases have been observed upon heating an asymmetric poly(ethylenepropylene)-poly(ethylethylene) diblock copolymer between lamellar and hexagonal cylinder phases near the order-disorder transition.
Journal ArticleDOI
Shear-induced isotropic-to-lamellar transition.
TL;DR: Reciprocating shear is found to increase the isotropic-to-lamellar transition temperature in a symmetric diblock copolymer melt, anticipated by a recent theory that accounts for the suppression of fluctuations by a symmetry breaking field in this class of weakly first-order phase transitions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Epitaxial growth and shearing of the body centered cubic phase in diblock copolymer melts
TL;DR: In this article, two poly(ethylenepropylene)-poly(ethylethylene) (PEP•PEE) diblock copolymer melts were investigated using small-angle neutron scattering (SANS) and rheological measurements.
Journal ArticleDOI
Lamellae orientation in dynamically sheared diblock copolymer melts
TL;DR: In this article, two distinct lamellae orientations have been identified by small-angle neutron scattering (SANS) in dynamically sheared poly(ethylene-propylene)-poly(ethylethylene) (PEP-pEE) diblock copolymer melts.
Journal ArticleDOI
Multiple ordered phases in a block copolymer melt
TL;DR: A poly(ethylenepropylene)-poly(ethylethylene) (PEP-PEE) diblock copolymer conctaining 65 vol% PEP was studied by SANS and rheological measurements as mentioned in this paper.
