    Studies of block copolymer melts by field theory and molecular simulation.
    (2009-11) Qin, Jian
    The thesis covers theoretical and simulation studies of various phase behavior related to block copolymers and homopolymer blends. The non-frustrated triblock copolymer phase behavior is examined using the numerical SCFT (self-consistent field theory). The long ranged composition fluctuations in binary homopolymer blends and diblock copolymer melts are studied using both a renormalized fluctuating field theory and (for diblock copolymer) Monte Carlo simulations.
