Abstract
Monte Carlo simulation on the crystallization of double crystalline diblock copolymer unravels an intrinsic relationship between block asymmetry and crystallization behaviour. We model crystalline A-B diblock copolymer, wherein the melting temperature of A-block is higher than that of the B-block. We explore the composition dependent crystallization behaviour by varying the relative block length with weak and strong segregation strength between the blocks. In weak segregation limit, we observe that with increasing the composition of B-block, its crystallization temperature increases accompanying with higher crystallinity. In contrast, A-block crystallizes at a relatively low temperature along with the formation of thicker and larger crystallites with the increase in B-block composition. We attribute this non-intuitive crystallization trend to the dilution effect imposed by B-block. When the composition of the B-block is high enough, it acts like a "solvent" during the crystallization of A-block. A-block segments are more mobile and hence less facile to crystallize, resulting depression in crystallization temperature with the formation of thicker crystals. At strong segregation limit, crystallization and morphological development are governed by the confinement effect, rather than block asymmetry. Isothermal crystallization reveals that the crystallization follows a homogeneous nucleation mechanism with the formation of two-dimensional crystals. Two-step, compared to one-step isothermal crystallization leads to the formation of thicker crystals of A-block due to the dilution effect of the B-block.

Abstract
For advanced functional polymers such as biopolymers, biomimic polymers, brush polymers, star polymers, dendritic polymers, and block copolymers, information about their surface structures, morphologies, and atomic structures is essential for understanding their properties and investigating their potential applications. Grazing incidence X-ray scattering (GIXS) is established for the last 15 years as the most powerful, versatile, and nondestructive tool for determining these structural details when performed with the aid of an advanced third-generation synchrotron radiation source with high flux, high energy resolution, energy tunability, and small beam size. One particular merit of this technique is that GIXS data can be obtained facilely for material specimens of any size, type, or shape. However, GIXS data analysis requires an understanding of GIXS theory and of refraction and reflection effects, and for any given material specimen, the best methods for extracting the form factor and the structure factor from the data need to be established. GIXS theory is reviewed here from the perspective of practical GIXS measurements and quantitative data analysis. In addition, schemes are discussed for the detailed analysis of GIXS data for the various self-assembled nanostructures of functional homopolymers, brush, star, and dendritic polymers, and block copolymers. Moreover, enhancements to the GIXS technique are discussed that can significantly improve its structure analysis by using the new synchrotron radiation sources such as third-generation X-ray sources with picosecond pulses and partial coherence and fourth-generation X-ray laser sources with femtosecond pulses and full coherence.
