Comparison of the morphology of ABC triblock copolymer confined between hard surfaces and polymer brush-coated substrates. The microphase patterns, displayed in the form of density, are the red, green, and blue, assigned to A, B, and C, respectively. The 3D isosurface graphs are also given for a clear view for the ABC triblock copolymer confined between the hard surfaces. The red, green, and blue colors in isosurface graphs are assigned to the blocks A, B, and C for a good correspondence, respectively. For the ABC triblock copolymer confined between polymer brush-coated substrates, the 3D isosurface of the grafted polymer on the lower substrate is also shown below the morphology due to the symmetry of the polymer brush. For the ABC triblock copolymer confined between hard surfaces, the 3D isosurface is also shown below the morphology.
