Abstract | Researchers characterize the mechanical properties of ABA triblock copolymers by structures such as chain conformation. During elongation, bridge chains are stretched and act as a stress chain. Some loop chains also act as a stress chain because of the transmission of stress through an entanglement of loop chains. The stress chain, including the entangled loop chains, in an ABA triblock copolymer that exhibits a body-centered cubic structure was analyzed by principal component analysis (PCA), using the physical data for the B block obtained by coarse-grained molecular dynamics simulations. Local deformation of the A domains caused by the stress chains was also analyzed by PCA of the A block. The dynamics of the stress chain strongly corresponded to the recombination of the A domains; shrinkage because of domain breakage, replacement of stress chains, and biased stress distribution as well as its time dependence were observed. |
