A Monte Carlo simulation of water + oil + ABA block copolymer ternary system. I. Patterns in thermal equilibrium

We carried out a large-scale lattice Monte Carlo simulation of a ternary system comprising water/oil/ABA triblock copolymers with hydrophilic A and hydrophobic B blocks to investigate the dependence of the pattern on the volume fraction of the components. The attractive interaction energies due to h...
