文摘

By employing off-lattice Monte Carlo simulations, the competitive adsorption and assembly of block copolymer blends on a nanopatterned surface were investigated. The segment distributions and polymer configurations are examined by varying the chemical structures of polymers, the interactions between segments and adsorbing stripe domains of the nanopatterned surface, and the width of stripe domains in the nanopatterned surface. The simulation results show that by modulating the affinities between a copolymer and the adsorbing stripe domain, one can adjust the density distributions and adsorption properties of block copolymer blends. With decorating the chemical structure of a surface, the targeted molecules would be actively recognized and separated. This offers a versatile way for novel separation materials and for the fabrication of nanomaterials.
