Mesoscopic study of cylindrical phases of poly(styrene)-poly(isoprene) copolymer: Order–order phase transitions by temperature control

Phase transitions of cylindrical structures of poly(styrene)–poly(isoprene) copolymer (PS–PI) toward spherical and gyroid structures were explored using DPD simulations and a coarse-grained model. Cylindrical phases were first obtained within a composition interval (“predominance region”) 0.2...
