文摘A new lattice model is designed to be suitable for simulating low-molecular-weight block copolymer(BCP)melts currently used in experiments to achieve sub-10 nm domain sizes(i.e.,having an invariant degree of polymerization between 10^(2) and 10^(3)).It gives an isothermal compressibility comparable to real polymers such as polystyrene and poly(methyl methacrylate),high Monte Carlo simulation efficiency,and the fluctuation effects important for the low-molecular-weight BCPs.With its high lattice coordination number,the model can also be readily used for branched chains such as star BCPs.
