Liquid Crystal Ordering in the Hexagonal Phase of Rod-Coil Diblock Copolymers

Density functional theory of rod-coil diblock copolymers, developed recently by the authors, has been generalised and used to study the liquid crystal ordering and microphase separation effects in the hexagonal, lamellar and nematic phases. The translational order parameters of rod and coil monomers...
