Theory of self-assembly of block copolymers: Effects of architecture, blending with homopolymers and shear
Similar to many self-assembling materials such as surfactants or liquid crystals, block copolymers undergo mesophase transitions due to the changes of external fields. This thesis focuses on the effects of copolymer architecture, concentration fields, and external shear flow fields on the self-assem...
