Survey of experimental data from diblock copolymer melts: Do experiments and simulations agree?

ORAL

Abstract

Recent simulations by our group have established that a variety of different simplified simulation models of symmetric diblock copolymers exhibit universal behavior that is now well characterized. In this talk, we report our progress in analyzing published experimental data for a variety of nearly symmetric diblock copolymers using methods closely analogous to those used to analyze simulation results. We will discuss the extent to which experiments on a wide variety of systems are consistent with the results of simulations, and with one another.~
