Role of dissimilar interfaces in thin films of cylinder-forming block copolymers
We study the effect of dissimilar interfaces on the phase behavior of cylinder forming block copolymers in thin films by means of dynamic density-functional theory. In this article, we show that dissimilarity of the interfaces induces hybrid structures. These structures appear when the surface fields at the two interfaces stabilize different surface structures and/or reconstructions. We propose a general classification of hybrid structures and give an unifying description of phase behavior of cylinder forming block copolymer films. Our results are consistent with experimental observations. (C) 2004 American Institute of Physics.
