Microphase separation of a block-co-polymer melt
A snapshot from a Dissipative Particle Dynamics (DPD) simulation of a A3B7 block copolymer melt undergoing microphase separation.
A3B7 means that the polymer consist of two parts (A and B) that have different solubilities. The total length of the polymer is 10, part A consisting of 3 monomers and part B of 7.
