Phase Behavior of Correlated Random Copolymers

In this work, Flory-Huggins phase diagrams for correlated random copolymers with realistic chain lengths are calculated. This is achieved in two steps. At first we derive a distribution function of copolymer chains respect to composition and blockiness. Then used the method moments, which was developed by Sollich Cates [Sollich, P.; Cates, M. E.; Phys. Rev. Lett. 1998, 80, 1365-1368] polydisperse systems, reduce number degrees freedom computational problem calculate diagrams. We explored how location transition points coexisting phases depend on composition, blockiness degree polymerisation. The proposed approach allows take into account fractionation, shown have effect appearance statistical copolymers.
