Classical dynamical density functional theory (DDFT) is one of the cornerstones of modern
statistical mechanics. It is an extension of the highly successful method of classical density …

Porous polymer and copolymer membranes are useful for ultrafiltration of functional
macromolecules, colloids, and water purification. In particular, block copolymer membranes …

In this book the reader can find an outline about a variety of methods and techniques,
together with many landmark references. At the end of each of the 13 chapters a small …

We present an extensive molecular-dynamics simulation for a bead spring model of a melt of
linear polymers. The number of monomers N covers the range from N= 5 to N= 400. Since …

Phase transition dynamics is centrally important to condensed matter physics. This 2002
book treats a wide variety of topics systematically by constructing time-dependent Ginzburg …

Two-phase systems of microstructured complex fluids are an important class of engineering
materials. Their flow behaviour is interesting because of the coupling among three disparate …

In this paper, we develop a series of efficient numerical schemes to solve the phase field
model for homopolymer blends. The governing system is derived from the energetic …

Descriptions of phase separation in condensed matter have so far been classified into a
solid model (model B) and a fluid model (model H). In the former the diffusion is the only …

The domain structure in thin films of an immiscible polystyrene/poly (methyl
methacrylate)(PS/PMMA) blend was studied after spin-casting from a common solvent …

The dynamics of concentration fluctuations in binary polymer mixtures AB, A and B being
long and flexible chains, is studied near the critical point of unmixing. A" hydrodynamic" …
