Abstract
Phase transitions induced by nanoparticles in A(BC)3 miktoarm star copolymers are investigated by using self-consistent field and density functional theories. With increasing nanoparticle concentration, a variety of phase transitions are observed, including the transition from a hexagonal lattice phase with beads at the interface to a core-shell hexagonal lattice phase, the transition from a core-shell hexagonal lattice phase to a three-color lamellar phase, and the transition from a lamellar phase with beads at the interface to a three-color lamellar phase. The results provide an effective control mechanism for obtaining the desired microstructures and realizing their transitions.
