We theoretically consider phase behavior of various mixtures consisting of two monodisperse functionalized homopolymers (denoted by A and B) capable of forming clusters between functional groups (stickers) using a mean field theory. In these model systems, resulting molecular architectures via clustering resemble block copolymers, and when the associations between stickers are strong enough, various types of microphases are possible. Minimizing the free energy with respect to the cluster distribution and the parameters describing the microphase, the stability of phase structures is investigated as a function of thermodynamic and material variables. The phase behaviors of various types of copolymer-like clusters in solution and melt are extensively investigated and their possible phase structures are discussed. |
