Title: Scattering patterns of multiply continuous cubic phases in block copolymers. II. Application to various triply periodic Architectures
Abstract: The model for the scattering amplitudes is applied to a quantitative of the scattering spectra of the n-block copolymer systems. The allows interpretation of the X-ray diffraction patterns in of the multiblock copolymers forming multiply continuous triply structures (MCTPS). We give simple formulas for the scattering for structures of different topology and symmetry appearing in copolymers. The straightforward fitting procedure presented in article allows determination of the multicontinuous architecture by a multiblock copolymer system, the volume fractions of the domains and the width of the interdomain intefaces. The model robust, i.e., applicable to n-block linear copolymers, and should be helpful in the quantitative analysis of the experimental data.
