Liquid State Theory of Equilibrium Structure and Thermodynamics of Block Copolymer Melts and Solutions
A liquid state integral equation theory has been developed to study the thermodynamics and structures of fluids of multiblock polymers both with nonpolar and strongly attracting groups. The physical clustering/aggregation process is probed via the calculation of small and wide angle scattering …

Liquid state theory of the local and long wavelength structure and thermodynamic properties of block copolymer liquids
… melts. First, the formal extension of the liquid state ""polymer reference interaction site model"" (PRISM) theory to AB copolymers is presented. Within a simple ""symmetric"" model, analytical and numerical predictions are made for the fluctuation stabilization, peak scattering wavevector, …

Phase Behavior, Fluid Structure, and Slow Dynamics in Polymer -Colloid Mixtures: Novel Liquid State Theory and Its Applications
… length scales of D-10D in the fluid phase. The theory captures the non-monotonic changes in the local cage order parameter S(k* ≈ 7 D) with increasing polymer concentrations. Accurate, no adjustable parameter predictions of the fluid structure are combined with a single particle version of …

Statistical mechanical theory of equilibrium structure and miscibility of polymer nanocomposites: effects of polymer chemical heterogeneity and architecture, and nanoparticle surface corrugation and softness
… Polymer Reference Interaction Site Model (PRISM) theory is extended and applied to study the thermodynamics, statistical structure, and miscibility of diverse polymer nanocomposites (PNCs). Under chemistry-matched conditions and in the absence of interfacial attractions between a spherically …

Statistical mechanical theory of structure and miscibility of polymer nanocomposites: Effects of density, filler shape, and chemical heterogeneity
… Polymer Reference Site Interaction Model (PRISM) theory is applied to study the structure and miscibility of polymer nanocomposites (PNCs). Spherical fillers are studied in homopolymers of varying density and interfacial interaction strengths, with specific favorable comparisons to experimental …
