A system with a short-range attraction and a competing long-range screened repulsion is studied by using the self-consistent Hartree approximation and a replica approach. It is shown that by varying the parameters of the repulsive potential and the temperature yields a phase coexistence, a...

Mesoscopic structure of the periodically alternating layers of stretched-homopolymer chains surrounded by perpendicularly oriented oligomeric tails is studied for the systems with both strong (ionic) and weak (hydrogen) interactions. Our approach is based on the fact that the structure period is...

The aim of the present work is to quantitatively study the early kinetics of the microphase separation in ramified polymer blends, made of two incompatible polymers A and B, dissolved in a common good solvent. Use is made of an extended blob model used previously for the investigation of the...

In this paper, we are interested in the critical behavior of the dynamic structure factor of a crosslinked polymer blend made of two chemically incompatible polymer A and B, when it is suddenly cooled down from a high initial temperature towards a final one very close to the spinodal point....
