Abstract
We demonstrate the relation . Here the exponent is defined as , where is the equilibrium lamellar thickness of the diblock copolymer ordered phase and is the molecular weight. The exponent is defined as , where is the pattern size of the spinodally decomposing system (say, a binary alloy) and is the time.
