![]() Unlike in a lot of the films of Zhang, who has discovered actresses such as Gong Li and Zhang Ziyi, the women here are not the leads and do not seem to control their own destiny. ![]() Like the fate of Yu’s wife, the tragedy of the princess is one that is expressed mostly in looks and gestures. Hoping to establish a truce and regain some influence, the sovereign offers the hand of his beautiful sister (Guan Xiaotong) to Ping, though this is against her will. Politically, the Pei Kingdom finds itself in a very difficult position, as foreign forces have occupied the city of Jing and the kingdom’s frosty relations with General Yang (Hu Jun) and his son Ping (Leo Wu), who control the stronghold, could tip over into war. In a tense early scene that only makes sense a little later on, the ruler risks finding out when he commands “Yu” to play the zither, which is impossible because Jing might look like Yu, but unlike the latter, he can’t play the ancient instrument. By employing a body double, the Pei Kingdom won’t show any outward signs of weakness, though apart from Jing and from Yu’s own wife, referred to only as Madam (Sun Li), no one knows about the switch, not even Pei’s young king (Zheng Kai). After having been so badly hurt in battle that he has to retreat into the shadows so as not to show his physical failings, Commander Yu entrusts his job to Jing (also played by Deng), a lookalike in perfect health who is indebted to him and who is named after a city lost to a foreign army. The self-assembly mechanism of the rod–coil copolymer proposed in this study provides guidance and a theoretical basis for the design and regulation of novel and complex polymer aggregates.The script, based on a previous screenplay by Zhu Sujin and credited to Li Wei and the director, reimagines a small part of the Three Kingdoms epic as the story of the cunning military commander Yu (Deng Chao) of the Pei Kingdom. The increasing rod-block proportion, the rod–coil–rod backbones and the asymmetric grafting side chains are beneficial to the orientation order of the brush-like polymer in the self-assembly process, thereby inducing the formation of the cylindrical micelles. ![]() We further proved that the competitive relationship is affected by polymer concentration, rod-block proportion and distribution of backbones and the grafting density of side chains. The cylindrical micelles were formed when the orientational order of the rod blocks predominates, while the disorder of the flexible blocks contributes to the formation of spherical micelles. The results indicated that the micellar structures mainly depend on the relative intensity between the orientational ordering of rod blocks and the disordered packing of the flexible blocks. We proposed the “rod–coil competitive mechanism” for the self-assembly of polymer brushes with rod–coil backbones. Dissipative particle dynamics (DPD) simulations were used to study the self-assembly behavior of polymer brushes with rod–coil backbones, polycaprolactone- b-poly(2-(dimethylamino)ethyl methacrylate)-grafted cellulose nanocrystals (CNC- g-PCL- b-PDMAEMA), and to further examine the influences of polymer concentration, rod-block proportion and distribution of backbones and the grafting density of side chains on the resulting aggregate conformations.
