Droplet Formation of an Anisotropic Liquid

Abstract

The process of formation of new morphologies by confinement in nano-droplets, created from a dewetting process, was simulated. The obtained structures showed a great similarity with the experimental results present in the literature. The developed model captures the fundamental interactions that determine the dynamics of the phase separation process of a copolymer system confined between a rigid substrate and a free surface. Furthermore, its numerical resolution is highly efficient as a result of the implementation of Eyre algorithm.
