Block copolymers confined in nano-pores

Using cell dynamics simulation we investigate morphologies block copolymers confined in the nano-pores of various geometries such as spherical cavities, cylinder pores and confinement formed by concentric spheres and cylinders. We examine the influence of molecular composition, parameters of confinement such as curvature and characteristic size, as well as preferential interaction of copolymer blocks with the surfaces. Several block copolymer morphologies are investigated: lamellae, cylinders, spheres and bicontinuous. Deviation from the bulk structure develops under influence of confinement.
