摘要
With mean-field dynamic density functional theory, we study the morphologies of sphere-forming diblock copolymers confined between two homogeneous surfaces. The effects of the film thickness and the surface field strength on the phase behavior of sphere-forming copolymer film are investigated. The morphologies deviating from the bulk sphere-forming structure are revealed, including cylinders oriented perpendicular to the surface, cylinders oriented parallel to the surface, perforated lamellae and lamellae by varying the film thickness, and surface field strength. We also construct the phase diagram of surface reconstruction, in which some interesting phase transitions are presented. Besides, we compare the present phase diagram with the relevant phase diagram of cylinder-forming block copolymer film.
