N=150 vs. N=250: phi0=0.85 T=0.75 (C2)

Initially unstable with respect to PS and PO, but more unstable with respect to PS.



Early-time structure: Elongated (but not fibrillar) polymer-rich domains (minor phase) in a LC-rich matrix (major phase).

Resulting intermediate/late-time structure: Noncircular polymer-rich domains (minor phase) in a LC-rich matrix (major phase).


C2-150+250_k2b-phi.pl1bsh.GIF


#1: "new" k1 -- from phi-based S(k).
Initial growth similar to that in Model B: R ~ t1/3.
N=250 domain growth slows down slightly earlier than N=150 domain growth does.
Behavior similar between N=150 and N=250.
