Theory of Microphase Separation in Elastomers
Author(s): Manu Mannattil, Haim Diamant, and David Andelman
Inspired by recent experiments, we present a phase-field model of microphase separation in an elastomer swollen with a solvent. The imbalance between the molecular scale of demixing and the mesoscopic scale beyond which elasticity operates produces effective long-range interactions, forming stable f… [Phys. Rev.
