SANS from homogeneous polymer mixtures: A unified overview

B Hammouda - Polymer Characteristics, 2005 - Springer
An overview of various modeling methods used to understand small angle neutron
scattering (SANS) data from homogeneous polymer systems is presented. First, calculations …

Phase transitions in polymer blends and block copolymer melts: Some recent developments

K Binder - Theories and mechanism of phase transitions …, 2005 - Springer
The classical concepts about unmixing of polymer blends (Flory-Huggins theory) and about
mesophase ordering in block copolymers (Leibler's theory) are briefly reviewed and their …

Small angle neutron scattering near Lifshitz lines: Transition from weakly structured mixtures to microemulsions

KV Schubert, R Strey, SR Kline… - The Journal of chemical …, 1994 - pubs.aip.org
We have studied the phase behavior, wetting transitions, and small angle neutron scattering
(SANS) of water, n‐alkane, and n‐alkyl polyglycol ether (C i E j) systems in order to locate …

Formation of zein microphases in ethanol− water

Y Wang, GW Padua - Langmuir, 2010 - ACS Publications
Zein, a major protein of corn, is soluble in binary mixtures of ethanol and water. It has an
amphiphilic character and is capable of self-assembly into nano-and microsized rods …

Self-assembly of polymer-tethered nanorods

MA Horsch, Z Zhang, SC Glotzer - Physical review letters, 2005 - APS
We present results of molecular simulations that predict the phases formed by self-assembly
of nanorods functionalized by a polymer “tether.” Microphase separation of the immiscible …

Incorporating fluctuations and dynamics in self-consistent field theories for polymer blends

M Müller, F Schmid - Advanced computer simulation approaches for soft …, 2005 - Springer
We review various methods to investigate the statics and the dynamics of collective
composition fluctuations in dense polymer mixtures within fluctuating-field approaches. The …

Fluctuation effects in ternary AB+ A+ B polymeric emulsions

D Düchs, V Ganesan, GH Fredrickson… - Macromolecules, 2003 - ACS Publications
We present a Monte Carlo approach to incorporating the effect of thermal fluctuations in field
theories of polymeric fluids. This method is applied to a field-theoretic model of a ternary …

SAFT associating fluids and fluid mixtures

C McCabe, A Galindo - 2010 - books.rsc.org
While we could argue that the goals of modelling fluid phase equilibria have not changed
greatly since the time of van der Waals, there is little doubt that the systems of interest have …

Isotropic Lifshitz behavior in block copolymer-homopolymer blends

FS Bates, W Maurer, TP Lodge, MF Schulz… - Physical review …, 1995 - APS
A series of mixtures composed of a symmetric A− B diblock copolymer and a symmetric
blend of A and B homopolymers was investigated by small-angle neutron scattering. Mean …

Similarity of Polymer Packing in Melts Is Dictated by

J Qin - Macromolecules, 2024 - ACS Publications
The literature usage of the invariant degree of polymerization N̅ is surveyed and
categorized according to the physical arguments involved. By providing rationales based on …
