Dynamical pattern formation for diblock copolymer films under stretch by moving walls

We propose a computational method that takes into account the dynamical influence of moving rigid walls over the pattern formation for thin films of diblock copolymers. The competition between the surface field energy and elastic stretching energy, and the effects of the molecular relaxation on pattern formation are studied. Finally, it is also observed that stretching the film enhances the ordering of patterns in it.
