Microphase Separation in Brushes Capable of Liquid Crystal Ordering
The behavior of an anisotropic polymer brush in a continuous medium with varying grafting density and anisotropic interaction parameter was studied by a method based on combining Brownian dynamics and mean-field algorithms. It was shown that, as in a brush with small values changes, stepwise phase transitions from the state of a conventional brush to the microphase-separated or fully liquid crystalline state (forward transition with an increase in ), as well as from the microphase-separated brush to the conventional brush (reverse transition with a decrease in ), take place. Hysteresis effects are displayed for these transitions. A comparison of the results obtained in terms of the continuum model and the model of walk on a simple cubic lattice showed that the transition scenarios are independent of the model selected and the quantitative differences in the transition characteristics are due to differences in entropic effects.
