Renormalization of the one-loop theory of fluctuations in polymer blends and diblock copolymer melts.
Attempts to use coarse-grained molecular theories to calculate corrections to the random-phase approximation (RPA) for correlations in polymer mixtures have been plagued by an unwanted sensitivity to the value of an arbitrary cutoff length, i.e., by an ultraviolet (UV) divergence. We analyze the UV divergence of the inverse structure factor S(-1)(k) predicted by a "one-loop" approximation simil...
متن کاملRenormalized field theory of polymer solutions : extension to general polydispersity
2014 We extend the renormalization group approach to polymer solutions of arbitrary chain length distribution (polydispersity). In the excluded volume limit polydispersity can be classified as neither relevant, irrelevant, nor marginal. The qualitative properties (the exponents) are not influenced by polydispersity. The quantitative results (scaling functions) are influenced, however, and our m...

متن کاملHybrid Dynamic Density Functional Theory for Polymer Melts and Blends
We propose a high-speed and accurate hybrid dynamic density functional theory for the computer simulations of the phase separation processes of polymer melts and blends. The proposed theory is a combination of the dynamic self-consistent field (SCF) theory and a time-dependent Ginzburg-Landau type theory with the random phase approximation (GRPA). The SCF theory is known to be accurate in evalu...
متن کاملThermodynamics of Polymer Blends 2
This chapter summarizes the thermodynamics of multicomponent polymer systems, with special emphasis on polymer blends and mixtures. After a brief introduction of the relevant thermodynamic principles – laws of thermodynamics, definitions, and interrelations of thermodynamic variables and potentials – selected theories of liquid and polymer mixtures are provided: Specifically, both lattice theor...
