Disordered structure models templating

Once the correlation functions have been solved, adsorption isotherms can be obtained from the Fourier transform of the direct correlation function Cc(r) [55]. The ROZ integral equation approach is noteworthy in that it yields model adsorption isotherms for disordered porous materials that have irregular pore geometries without resort to molecular simulation. In contrast, most other disordered structural models of porous solids implement GCMC or other simulation techniques to compute the adsorption isothem. However, no method has yet been demonstrated for determining the pore structure of model disordered or templated structures from experimental isotherm measurements using integral equation theory. 

In the case of diblock copolymer melts, which are the simplest model system for the elucidation of structure formation processes involving BCPs in nanoporous hard templates, only the two immiscible blocks have to be considered as components. Self-consistent field methods were applied to study the morphologies of liquid diblock copolymer/homopolymer mixtures that were considered as a model system for triblock copolymers in sol solutions [182], of pure diblock copolymer melts [200-202], and of order-disorder transitions in diblock copolymer melts [203]. For example, Li et al. found for a model diblock copolymer that forms cylinders in the bulk...
