Simulations of Electric Field Induced Lamellar Alignment in Block Copolymers in the Presence of Selective Electrodes

Abstract

Abstract Computer simulations have been performed for electric field induced parallel‐perpendicular lamellar phase transition in the presence of electrodes. The simulations are based on the dynamic density functional theory. Here we provide the extension of earlier work in two dimensions (2D) to three dimensions (3D). The result is a vivid picture of the transitions through defect creation and collision.
