Abstract
A polymer nanocomposite based on a symmetrical AB diblock copolymer filled with planar nanoparticles (NPs) has been studied by the dissipative particle dynamics method. The developed model predicts that NPs can reduce the threshold of thermodynamic incompatibility of blocks A and B, above which microphase separation of the polymer matrix occurs to give a lamellar phase. Depending on the features of the polymer/NP interaction, two types of stable orientations of the NP plane are formed: along and across the lamellar domains. This effect can be used to control the distribution of NPs in multiphase polymeric materials.
期刊介绍:
Doklady Physical Chemistry is a monthly journal containing English translations of current Russian research in physical chemistry from the Physical Chemistry sections of the Doklady Akademii Nauk (Proceedings of the Russian Academy of Sciences). The journal publishes the most significant new research in physical chemistry being done in Russia, thus ensuring its scientific priority. Doklady Physical Chemistry presents short preliminary accounts of the application of the state-of-the-art physical chemistry ideas and methods to the study of organic and inorganic compounds and macromolecules; polymeric, inorganic and composite materials as well as corresponding processes. The journal is intended for scientists in all fields of chemistry and in interdisciplinary sciences.
