Abstract

We review a formalism that can be used to calculate the microphase-separated crystallographic structures of multi-component wormlike polymer melts. The approach is based on a self-consistent field theory of wormlike polymers where the persistence length of each component is an important parameter. We emphasize on an analysis of the number of independent parameters required to specify a problem in general, for a system that includes Flory-Huggins and Maier-Saupe energies. Examples of recent applications are also briefly demonstrated: AB homopolymer interface, AB diblock copolymers, and rod-coil copolymers.

Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 7. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 03 October 2016.
All research outputs
#4,337,324
of 23,498,099 outputs
Outputs from The European Physical Journal E
#138
of 650 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#70,948
of 321,691 outputs
Outputs of similar age from The European Physical Journal E
#2
of 12 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 23,498,099 research outputs across all sources so far. Compared to these this one has done well and is in the 80th percentile: it's in the top 25% of all research outputs ever tracked by Altmetric.
So far Altmetric has tracked 650 research outputs from this source. They typically receive more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 8.0. This one has done well, scoring higher than 76% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 321,691 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has done well, scoring higher than 76% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 12 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has done well, scoring higher than 83% of its contemporaries.
