Phase behavior of symmetric disk-coil molecules

We investigate the self-assembly of symmetric disk-coil molecules using Monte Carlo simulations in the NPT ensemble. Our molecules are composed of a planar disk (head) that is covalently bonded to a single coil (tail), and can be regarded as disk-coil copolymers. For this system, we observe a variet...
