We report dynamic Monte Carlo simulations of crystallization under hard confinement of spherical diblock copolymers. We compared the parallel results of blocks with short chains made by breaking block junctions. We observed that blocks crystallize faster but harvest lower crystallinity than short chains, which is in a…
