We consider the influence of sequence polydispersity upon the phase behavior and
interfacial characteristics of gradient copolymers. By adapting the algorithmic procedure …

Gradient copolymers are members of a unique class of copolymer in which the monomer
composition changes gradually from one end of the polymer chain to the other. In general …

Numerical self-consistent field (SCF) theory is used to study the equilibrium segregation of
A/B gradient copolymers to the interface between immiscible A and B homopolymers. A …

We investigate the effect of gradient sequence distribution in copolymers on order–disorder
transitions, using rheometry and small-angle X-ray scattering to compare the phase …

A multiblock model is developed for the study of the phase behavior of gradient copolymers.
The model is able to describe gradient copolymer chains with arbitrary composition profiles …

The phase behavior of ternary homopolymer/gradient copolymer blends is studied
theoretically using a multiblock model of gradient copolymers. Critical lines and Lifshitz …

Gradient copolymers represent a relative new class of copolymers containing at least one
section of the macromolecule where the chemical composition continuously changes along …

Local segregation in melts of copolymers with composition gradients along their backbones
is analyzed. The transition to a lamellar periodic structure as the effective degree of …

In homopolymers with additives, blends, and copolymers, synergism can be accomplished
in the structure/property/cost relationships if a proper gradient in components compositions …

We use computer simulations to study the phase separation behavior of amphiphilic linear
gradient copolymer solution under poor solvent conditions. Using the bond fluctuation model …
