Summary on Grant Application Form |
|
Integral equation techniques and simulation will be combined and applied to understanding the behaviour of polymer blends. In particular the techniques will be applied to systems for which experimental data exist at Imperial and which are not readily explained in terms of existing theoretical models. These include the temperature dependence of the ( parameter close to the spinodal boundary of binary polymer blends, the effect of polymer molecular weight and pressure on the phase boundaries, and the role of topology in polymer miscibillity.
