Morphology of Linear Diblock Copolymer Micelle Under Lid-driven Flow

The morphology variations of the micelles under lid-driven flow were studied via dissipative particle dynamics simulations.The morphologies of the micelles under flow are different from that in equilibrium.The weak lid-driven flow has hardly changed the morphologies of micelles.We find the worm-like micelles under moderate lid-driven flow.In the strong lid-driven flow,smaller micelles are observed.The properties of the walls are also a dominant factor influencing the micelle morphologies.
