Morphology of block copolymers

  • Chapter
The Physics of Glassy Polymers

Abstract

Block copolymers are unique macromolecules that enable the structural and processing properties of distinct polymers to be combined by linking polymer chains in a variety of architectures. The block copolymer chapter in the first edition of The Physics of Glassy Polymers (Folkes and Keller, 1973) was timely and signalled the importance of the subject. There have been a number of advances in the intervening years, particularly in the area of theory and morphology. The mechanical properties of solid polymers were treated in detail in the first edition and this work will not be repeated here. The phase behaviour of block copolymers in the melt has been the subject of great interest lately, because a number of new morphologies have been discovered which supplement the classical lamellar, hexagonal-packed cylinder and body-centred cubic micelle phases that have been known for some time. The thermodynamics of block copolymer melts prior to the discovery of these complex phases was reviewed by Bates and Fredrickson (1990), who have also recently reviewed the dynamics of block copolymer melts (Fredrickson and Bates, 1996).
