Cylindrical Micelles in Rigid-Flexible Diblock Copolymers
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 25 February 2011
Abstract
We present a theoretical study of a melt of diblock copolymers consisting of a rigid rod and a flexible tail. It is shown that in addition to the lamellax phases previously discussed, there also exist phases of “hockey puck” micelles, where the rods are packed axially into cylinders. These phases occupy most of the phase diagram previously thought to consist of monolayer lamellae. It is argued that spherical micelles probably do not exist.
