摘要：

A numerical implementation of self-consistent mean-field theory for the structural phase behavior of block copolymers is proposed. Our scheme does not require a priori assumptions of the underlying mesoscopic symmetries. The method potentially enables us to characterize, with high accuracy, the structural phase diagram of block copolymers with significant architectural complexity. We illustrate the method by applying it to a triblock copolymer system.
