Abstract
We study a coarse-grained model of A(10)-B(20)-A(10) amphiphilic triblock copolymers in aqueous solution under confinement. We focus on the influence of the wall interaction on the morphology of the ensuing self-assembled structures. We also study the dynamics of the polymers. All our simulations are confined between two walls. We study three different combinations of walls: hydrophobic and hydrophobic, hydrophobic and hydrophilic, hydrophilic and hydrophilic. We moreover elucidate the concentration influence. The conformation and behavior of the copolymer in strongly confined systems depend on the type of wall interaction and concentration.
