Advances in synthetic polymer chemistry have unleashed seemingly unlimited strategies for
producing block polymers with arbitrary numbers (n) and types (k) of unique sequences of …

We use self-consistent field theory (SCFT) to study the directed self-assembly of laterally
confined diblock copolymers. In this study, we focus on systems in which the self-assembled …

Complex coacervation, a liquid-liquid phase separation that occurs when two oppositely
charged polyelectrolytes are mixed in a solution, has the potential to be exploited for many …

The emergence and stability of superstructured cylindrical phases in frustrated ABC linear
triblock copolymers are investigated by the self-consistent field theory. Our results reveal that …

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

Numerical SCFT simulations of inhomogeneous polymers at the mesoscale can easily
become computationally extremely demanding as the size (spatial resolution) of the …

A new method to achieve long-range orientational order in symmetric diblock copolymer
nanodomains through the alignment and chaining of superparamagnetic nanoparticles in a …

We present a self-consistent field theory (SCFT) formalism of topologically unconstrained
ring polymers for the first time. The resulting static properties of homogeneous and …

An efficient numerical self-consistent field theory (SCFT) algorithm is developed for polymer
systems subject to nonperiodic boundary conditions. The method involves collocation with a …

The thermodynamics and kinetics of the self-assembly of cylinder-forming diblock
copolymers directed by the lateral confinement of hexagons have been studied by the …
