Polymers have drawn tremendous attention from scientific societies because they provide well defined engineering materials for a variety of applications covering bio-related and electronic products. The static behaviors of phase segregating mixtures on a macroscopic or nanoscopic scale are of our interest, as mixing can create desired material properties out of known polymers. Regarding such behaviors, there has been a large compendium of theoretical approaches developed so far. Among those efforts, here we discuss some selected applications of Edwards Hamiltonian (Gaussian thread with perturbing interactions) for conventional incompressible and also for realistic compressible systems leading to self-consistent field analysis and random-phase approximation, which have proven useful in understanding phase and interfacial behaviors of given polymeric systems. |
