We have mapped the physics of a system of random copolymers onto a time-dependent density functional-type field theory using techniques of functional integration. Time in the theory is merely a label for the location of a given monomer along the extent of a flexible chain. We derive heuristically within this approach a non-local constraint which prevents segments on chains in the system from straying too far from each other, and leads to self-assembly. The structure factor is then computed in a straightforward fashion. The dependence of various calculated quantities on the average chain length are compared with experiments. The profile and size of spherulitic mesoscale domains is also computed.

Overlap Concentration

Dielectric studies on water dynamics in aqueous solutions of amphiphilic random copolymers confirm the self-assembly into globular like core–shell single-chain nano-particles (SCNPs) at concentrations well above the overlap concentration.
