Structure of Liquid Crystalline Phases from Amorphous Block Copolymers

Abstract
We have studied the structure of liquid crystalline phases of A-B block copolymers by small-angle X-ray scattering. We have found three types of structure: lamellar, hexagonal and cubic. We have also shown the influence on the structural type and structural parameters of the following factors: concentration and nature of the solvent, molecular weight and composition of the copolymer.
