Abstract

The invention discloses a method for simulating the self-assembly behavior of rigid segmented block copolymer solution. The method is characterized in that rigidity of a segmented block is controlledby fixing a bond angle of the rigid segmented block of the rigid segmented block copolymer and adjusting elastic constants of bonds and a bond angle, so a self-assembly microstructure of rigid polymermolecules in solution is simulated. The method comprises steps of firstly, constructing an initial model of rigid polymer solution through Matrials Studio software; secondly, calculating a repulsiveforce parameter between beads in the rigid polymer molecular solution according to the solubility parameter; then, fixing the rigid segmented block bond angle, adjusting the elastic constants of the bonds and the bond angle so as to endow the polymer segmented block with rigid characteristics, and lastly, carrying out the dynamic relaxation process of the initial configuration of the rigid polymersolution to obtain a self-assembled structure of rigid polymer molecules. The method is advantaged in that rigidity of the intramolecular bonds of the polymer can be accurately controlled, and guidance and theoretical basis are provided for regulation and control of the self-assembly structure of the polymer.
