Block copolymers, in which two or more chemically different subchains form a single
molecule, are a fascinating class of soft materials with unique structural and mechanical …

Using a real space implementation of the self-consistent field theory for the polymeric
system, we explore microphases of ABC linear triblock copolymers. For the sake of …

Numerous theoretical efforts have been developed to identify molecular-morphological
relationships in ordered AB diblock copolymers, but relatively few studies have sought to …

An efficient algorithm is presented for numerically evaluating a self-consistent field theoretic
(SCFT) model of an AB diblock copolymer that incorporates continuous polydispersity in one …

Block copolymers with their rich phase behavior and ordering transitions have become a
paradigm for the study of structured soft materials. A major challenge in the study of the …

The formation of ordered phases from block copolymers is driven by a delicate balance
between the monomer-monomer interaction and chain configurational entropy. The …

The effects of molecular weight distribution on the self-assembly of lamella-forming AB-
diblock copolymers with polydisperse A-blocks are examined using the self-consistent field …

A generic Fourier-space approach to solve the self-consistent field theory of block
copolymers is developed. This approach is based on the fact that, for any computational box …

A spectral method of self-consistent field theory has been applied to AB cyclic block
copolymers. Phase behaviors of cyclic diblock copolymers, such as order-disorder transition …

A self-consistent field (SCF) theory and a Monte Carlo (MC) simulation technique have been
developed for block copolymer systems. Calculations were carried out using both SCF …
