Abstract: We study the dynamics of a copolymer membrane diblock in hexagonal phase. We call diblock copolymer membrane a copolymer film with thickness of the order of the size of the domains and that it presents the possibility of deforming freely. In a flat system of copolymer, the dynamics of coarsenig produces the relaxation of energy by diffusion and annihilation of defects. In a copolymer membrane, relaxation of the energy of the hexagonal phase resulting from a combined effect of the diffusion and annihilation of defects and of the buckling process.
