摘要: Self-assembly of block copolymers confined in cylindrical nanopores is studied systematically using a simulated annealing technique. For diblock which form two-dimensional hexagonally packed cylinders with period ${L}_{0}$ the bulk, novel structures such as helices and stacked toroids spontaneously inside pores. These confinement-induced morphologies have no counterpart bulk system they depend on pore diameter ($D$) surface-polymer interactions, reflecting importance structural frustration interfacial interactions. On tightening degree confinement, transitions from to spheres are observed. Mechanisms morphological can be understood based parametrized by ratio $D/{L}_{0}$.
