The structure and stability of colloidal monolayers depend crucially on the effective pair potential u (r) between colloidal particles. In this paper, we develop a two-dimensional (2D) predictor-corrector method for extracting u (r) from the pair cor...

We present a self-consistent Field theory (SCFT) Study of spherical micelle formation in a blend of poly(styrene-butadiene) diblocks and homopolystyrene. The micelle core radii, corona thicknesses, and critical micelle concentrations are calculated a...

Micelle shape transitions in block copolymer/homopolymer blends: comparison of self-consistent field theory with experiment (2009)
Journal Article

Diblock copolymers blended with homopolymer may self-assemble into spherical, cylindrical, or lamellar aggregates. Transitions between these structures may be driven by varying the homopolymer diblock molecular weight or composition. Using self-consi...
