Figure 5: Neutral block conformations from MD simulations.
From: Gel phase formation in dilute triblock copolyelectrolyte complexes
(a) Distribution of the end-to-end distances of the neutral block in the interconnected triblock copolyelectrolyte gels at φ=0.36 and 3% by mass. (b) Fractions of neutral midblocks forming loops or bridges and (c) normalized end-to-end distance of the neutral midblocks forming bridges or loops as a function of polymer concentration in the interconnected gels. In (b) and (c), open symbols correspond to the corresponding data from assembly of uncharged, amphiphilic triblock copolymers.
