The microstructure of polymer chains plays a critical role in determining the performance of polymeric materials. Various studies have demonstrated that aside from the overall copolymer composition, the distribution of monomers along the polymer chains is a crucial microstructural factor in controlling the morphologies of the polymer chains. Gradient copolymers, which possess a gradual change in composition along the chain backbone, can exhibit diverse monomer sequence distributions due to variations in compositions. In this study, we conducted a computational investigation using coarse-grained models to systematically assess the effect of the monomer sequence distribution on the microphase separation morphologies and mechanical properties of the as-formed materials. Our findings indicated that systems with different monomer sequence distributions display distinct microphase separation morphologies characterized by effective Flory parameter χ eff and microphase separation domain sizes. Additionally, we found that it is possible to modify the monomer sequence distributions to adjust the glass transition temperature (T g ) and the divergence of T g . Moreover, our research revealed that the unique arrangement of gradient copolymers results in a hierarchical response during tensile deformation process. Specifically, under small strains, the soft segments with a low T g respond initially, while the hard domains with a high T g come into play under larger strains. The systematic understanding of the relationship between copolymer composition, structure, and properties will facilitate the design of application-oriented polymer materials, enabling the synthesis of more tailored materials for specific applications.
