Density functional theory for inhomogeneous polymer systems. II. Application to block copolymer thin films

Using density function theory, diblock copolymer thin films were studied for two different segregation strengths and various wall interactions. Symmetric parallel morphologies were found at integer values of the effective film thickness Heff and, for sufficiently small surface interactions, the perpendicular morphology when the film thickness is not commensurate with Db. The use of a pseudo arclength continuation algorithm was also explored.
