Morphological transition difference of linear and cyclic block copolymer with polymer blending in a selective solvent by combining dissipative particle dynamics and all-atom molecular dynamics simulations based on the ABEEM polarizable force field

Abstract

This study describes theoretical simulations of morphological transitions for linear and cyclic block copolymers with polymer blending. Mesoscopic dissipative particle dynamics simulations with reliable interaction parameters from all-atom molecular dynamics simulations based on the ABEEM polarizable force field, can reproduce the self-assembly behavior well and morphological transitions observed by experiments.
