Phase diagrams for monodisperse, one-sided and two-sided polydisperse short diblock copolymer melts are constructed.
An unexpected stability of a bicontinuous structure over a wide composition range for polydisperse component between 0.7 < f ≤ 0.8 is found in one-sided polydisperse system.
For the two-sided polydisperse system, an overall up-shift is found in the order-disorder transition boundary to larger χN values due to the presence of highly asymmetrical block copolymers and the dissolve of short blocks of these molecules into the opposite domain.
