Cooperative self-assembly of nanoparticle mixtures in lamellar diblock copolymers: A dissipative particle dynamics study
Dissipative particle dynamics simulations are performed on the distribution of binary nanoparticle mixtures in lamellar diblock copolymers. The results show that the self-assembly of nanoparticle Mixtures in polymer matrix is a cooperative assembly that is affected by various factors, providing molecular-level information for the rational design of new polymer nanocomposites with tailored properties.
