Abstract
A coarse-grained model for studying the phase behavior of rod-coil block copolymer systems on mesoscopic length scales is proposed. The polymers are represented on a particle level (monomers, rods) whereas the interactions between the system’s constituents are formulated in terms of local densities. This conversion to density fields allows an efficient Monte Carlo sampling of the phase space. We demonstrate the applicability of the model and of the simulation approach by illustrating the formation of typical micro-phase separated configurations for exemplary model parameters.
