Abstract

The sophisticated use of self-organizing materials, which include liquid crystals, block copolymers, hydrogen- and π-bonded complexes, and many natural polymers, may hold the key to developing new structures and devices in many advanced technology industries. Synthetic materials are usually designed with only one structure-forming process in mind. However, combination of both complementary and antagonistic interactions in macromolecular systems can create order in materials over many length scales. Here polymer materials that make use of competing molecular interactions are summarized, and the prospects for the further development of such materials through both synthetic and processing pathways are highlighted.

For the specific example of diblock copolymers the topological connectivity of various monomers in every chain appears as a density-density correlation at a distance r being proportional to 1/ r so that α = 2 (the Fourier transform of 1/ r is 1/ k 2 in three dimensions). The long-range interaction can originate from such entropic correlations or electrostatic interactions (as in the case of surfactant and polyelectrolyte solutions) or chemical reactions (as in the case of simultaneous occurrence of macrophase separation and chemical reactions or hydrogen bonding).
The scheme requires consideration of shape and packing at the atomic and molecular level as well as at higher levels of scale leading to the three dimensional structure of the overall aggregate. Bringing the set of components together into the requisite array in a single process step (for example by cooling the mixture) is extremely difficult particularly when the basic units have conformational diversity under the conditions of the assembly process. Indeed this situation is a critical issue for if the system or parents of the system adopt wrong shapes and packings then the desired structures may not even form.
