Data for Thermodynamics and morphology of linear multiblock copolymers at homopolymer interfaces
(2023-11-09) Collanton, Ryan P; Ellison, Christopher J; Dorfman, Kevin D; dorfman@umn.edu; Dorfman, Kevin D
Block copolymers at homopolymer interfaces are poised to play a critical role in the compatibilization of mixed plastic waste, an area of growing importance as the rate of plastic accumulation rapidly increases. Using molecular dynamics simulations of Kremer–Grest polymer chains, we have investigated how the number of blocks and block degree of polymerization in a linear multiblock copolymer impacts the interface thermodynamics of strongly segregated homopolymer blends, which is key to effective compatibilization. The second virial coefficient reveals that interface thermodynamics are more sensitive to block degree of polymerization than to the number of blocks. Moreover, we identify a strong correlation between surface pressure (reduction of interfacial tension) and the spatial uniformity of block junctions on the interface, yielding a morphological framework for interpreting the role of compatibilizer architecture (number of blocks) and block degree of polymerization. These results imply that, especially at high interfacial loading, the choice of architecture of a linear multiblock copolymer compatibilizing surfactant does not greatly affect the modification of interfacial tension.

Data supporting Interfacial geometry in particle-forming phases of diblock copolymers
(2022-01-19) Collanton, Ryan P; Dorfman, Kevin D; dorfman@umn.edu; Dorfman, Kevin D
Frank-Kasper phases are complex particle packings known to form in a wide variety of hard and soft materials, including single-component AB diblock copolymer melts. An important open question in the context of this system is why these lower-symmetry packings are selected over the classical, higher-symmetry, body-centered cubic phase. To address this question, we simulated a library of diblock copolymer melts under intermediate-segregation conditions using self-consistent field theory and performed a combination of geometric and thermodynamic analyses. Our findings show that imprinting of the enclosing Voronoi polyhedra onto the micelle core is generally weak, but nonetheless coincides with sharpening of the interface between A and B monomers compared to more spherical cores. The corresponding reduction in enthalpy, which is the dominant contribution to the free energy, drives the bcc-σ transition, overcoming increases in stretching penalties and giving way to more polyhedral micelle cores. These results offer insight into the stability and formation of Frank-Kasper phases under experimentally realistic conditions.
