Abstract

Surfaces and interfaces of polymers can be described by theory and simulations at different length scales. In this contribution polymer–polymer interfaces and kinetics of phase separation in binary polymer blends are presented in the framework of self-consistent field theory. Interface width, profiles and fluctuations are critically discussed. Surfaces are described as the special case of phase separation of a polymer melt and its vapour. Wetting and thin film stability then can also be calculated.
