Hydrodynamic Self Consistent Field Theory

ORAL

Abstract

We have developed a new computational technique used to model the flow of polymeric fluids that combines the strongest features of self consistent field theory and viscoelastic hydrodynamics. We will demonstrate the utility of this approach by applying it to the phase separation of block copolymer melts.
