Abstract

Mesoscopic simulation of processes of drying and swelling of thin copolymer films on a solid substrate is performed. Structural rearrangements in films of symmetric and asymmetric diblock copolymers are studied by the dissipative particle dynamics method in the presence of both nonselective and selective solvents. The plasticizing effect of a solvent is favorable for formation of lamellar and hexagonal mesophases. Owing to evaporation of the solvent from a film or its absorption from the external volume, flows along the normal to the film surface arise. These flows exert an orienting effect on the microdomain structure.
