Abstract
Introducing nonadditive size interactions in hard sphere chain systems can result in formation of ordered microstructures. The level of self-assembly depends on structure of the polymer, density and nonadditivity value. As such, diblock copolymers are found to display the highest level of self assembly while alternating copolymers did not self-assemble except at high δ and ρ.
