The stability of various spherical phases formed in conformationally asymmetric AB diblock
and architecture asymmetric AB m miktoarm block copolymers is investigated using self …

The self-assembly behavior of linear AB diblock copolymers has been studied extensively
over the past three decades, from both experimental and theoretical perspectives. 1-25 In …

Self-consistent field theory (SCFT) is a powerful tool for the design and interpretation of
experiments on block polymer materials. In this Perspective, we lower the barrier to entry to …

The complexation of mixtures of cationic and anionic polymers to produce complex-
coacervate phases is a subject of fundamental importance to colloid and polymer science as …

The domain sizes and morphological boundaries in diblock copolymers have been
predicted to be influenced by changes in the molecular weight distribution of one or both of …

The emergence of the complex Frank-Kasper phases from binary mixtures of AB diblock
copolymers is studied using the self-consistent field theory. The relative stability of different …

This perspective addresses the development of polymer field theory for predicting the
