Block Copolymer Thermodynamics: Theory and Experiment
TL;DR: Block copolymers are macromolecules composed of sequences, or blocks, of chemically distinct repeat units that make possible the sequential addition of monomers to various carbanion-ter minated ("living") linear polymer chains.

The physics of block copolymers
TL;DR: The self consistent field theory of block copolymers has been studied in this article, where the authors describe the behavior of blockcopolymers in a variety of ways: 1. Melt Phase Behaviour of Block Copolymers 2. Block copolymer in Dilute Solution 3. Block Copylmers in Semidilute Solution 4.

Infrared spectra of high polymers
TL;DR: In this article, the spectral properties of polyethylene terephthalate and three deuterated analogs have been obtained in the region of 70 to 3600 cm-i, polarized spectra having been obtained down to 330 cm-l. This assignment suggests a modification of the proposed chain structure of this polymer.

Combinatorial screening of complex block copolymer assembly with self-consistent field theory
TL;DR: In this article, a numerical implementation of self-consistent mean field theory for block copolymers is presented, which requires no assumption of the mesophase symmetry and is amenable to massively parallel screening.
