Oono, Yoshitsugu Bahiana, Monica Pereira 2011-05-07T13:14:45Z 2011-05-07T13:14:45Z 10000-01-01 1990 In this thesis we discuss a mesoscale model of block-copolymer (BCP) microphase separation dynamics based on a cell dynamics system (CDS) model. The model suggests a partial differential equation (PDE) model that allows us to find a close relation between the block copolymer and spinodal decomposition problems. A detailed numerical study of the CDS model is given, which indicates that hydrodynamic effects are crucial for very late time ordering processes. The strong segregation regime is studied analytically with the aid of exactly solvable PDE model, which is suggested by the universality supported by the CDS simulations. The results obtained show that dimensional analysis gives the correct exponent for the block copolymer lamellar thickness. Made available in DSpace on 2011-05-07T13:14:45Z (GMT).
