Self Consistent Field Theory

Two complementary self-consistent field theoretical approaches are used to analyze the equilibrium structure of binary and ternary brushes of polyions with different degrees of polymerization.

Scf Theory

Combining Edwards' self-consistent-field (SCF) theory and numerical techniques borrowed from fluid dynamics, I have developed a SCF theory for spherical polymeric assemblies. The theory is being used to determine the equilibrium structure of a polymer layer formed by immiscible polymers end-grafted onto a spherical nanoparticle. Here I report some of the preliminary results.
