We investigated epitaxial relations of phase transitions between the lamellar (L), hexagonally perforated layers (HPL), and gyroid (G) morphologies in styrene-isoprene diblock copolymer (PSI) and polyisoprene (PI)/PSI blend using rheology and small angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) techniques. In HPLlongrightarrowG transitions, six spot patterns of G phase were observed in two-dimensitional SAXS pattern. On the other hand, in direct L-longrightarrowG transition without appearance of HPL phase, the polydomain patterns of G phase were observed. From present study, it was understood that direct LlongrightarrowG transition of blend may be suppressed by high-energy barrier of transition and mismatches in domain orientation between epitaxially related lattice planes.

Periodic mesoporous organosilicas with rope-based morphology from a reaction gel composition of 1 BTME : 0.57 ODTMABr : 2.36 NaOH : 353 H2O were synthesized. While long rope-shaped product dominated in case of static synthesis condition , gyroid type products instead of rope shaped product appeared and rope shaped product disappeared with agitation. PMO with such a long rope shaped morphology is firstly reported. Additionally, various rope-based morphologies depending on the degree of bending, twisting, folding and winding of rope such as spirals, discoids, toroids, and worm-like aggregates were observed. White powdered products were characterized by X-ray diffraction, N2 sorption measurement, SEM and TEM. From XRD pattern and TEM image, ODTMA-PMO with hexagonal symmetry was identified. The pore diameter and BET surface area of ODTMA-PMO are $32.9{\AA}$ and 799 m2g-1 , respectively. Hexagonally arrayed channels run with long axis of rope and rope-based shapes with various degree of curvature, which was elucidated by using TEM images.

The triply periodic minimal surface (TPMS) structure is characterized by a high surface-to-volume (S/V) ratio and the separated internal structure for flow. Combining the different TPMS structures can provide unique flow and strength characteristics. This paper investigates the effects of dimension, density and arrangement of the unit cell of the TPMS on contact and flow areas of combined TPMS structures. Several representative TPMS structures, including primitive, gyroid and diamond structures, are adopted to design gradient and heterogeneous types TPMS structures. The estimation method of contact and flow areas using an image processing technique is proposed. Python software is used to predict contact and flow area. The influence of the combination method of TPMS on contact and flow areas in the contact surface of combined TPMS structures with different shapes is investigated. Based on the results of the investigation, an appropriate combination method of TPMS structures is discussed.
