Using scaling theory, we investigate the equilibrium behavior of a melt of functionalized chains, nonfunctionalized polymers, and two infinite, planar surfaces, which model clay...
Using numerical self-consistent field (SCF) calculations, we investigate the interactions between two closely spaced surfaces and the surrounding polymer melt. Short chains (sur...
We combine a density functional theory (DFT) with a self-consistent field model (SCF) to calculate the phase behavior of thin, oblate colloidal particles that are coated with su...

We analyze the thermodynamics of disklike particles dispersed in a polymer matrix. Using the Somoza−Tarazona free energy functional for thin oblate ellipsoids of revolution in c...
Using self-consistent field calculations, we investigate the interactions between two closely-spaced surfaces and the surrounding polymer melt. Short surfactants are terminally ...
