Abstract
The first three-dimensional simulation of shear-induced phase transitions in a polymeric system has been performed. The method is based on dynamic density-functional theory. The pathways between a bicontinuous phase with developing gyroid mesostructure and a lamellar/cylinder phase coexistence are investigated for a mixture of flexible triblock ABA-copolymer and solvent under simple steady shear.
