摘要: This review article addresses the widely used self-consistent field theory (SCFT) in interacting polymer systems. The theoretical framework and numerical method of solving equations are presented. In this paper, different structures can be considered, such as homopolymer, block copolymer, polydisperse charged polymer. Several systems, micro/macro phase separation, interface, self-assembly, presented examples to demonstrate its applications details. Besides, fluctuation effects considered. first order is Gaussian theory, which determine stability mean-field solution predict kinetics unstable structure. derivation well.
