Abstract
AbstractDynamic lattice Monte Carlo simulations on a simple cubic lattice were used to study the association behavior of heteroarm star copolymers with two types of chemically different arms (miktoarm star). The effect of architecture and composition (number and length of arms) on self‐assembly was investigated. Simulations revealed substantial differences between associates formed by linear diblock copolymers and by star copolymers. It was also observed that the length of arms considerably influences the association behavior. Apart from the structural characteristics of the whole associate, the properties of individual stars in associates were also studied. These results provide detailed information on the inner structure of associates.magnified image
