Scattering theory and properties of block copolymers with various architectures in the homogeneous bulk state

The authors describe an extension of their theory pertaining to multiblock copolymers having an odd number of blocks and compare their theoretical predictions with experimental results. The excellent agreement of the experimental results with the theoretical calculations leads the authors to believe that their predictions are accurate. These experiments can given valuable information on complex systems, e.g. χ-parameter, microphase separation, etc. such as multiblock copolymers (e.g. polyurethanes) and polymer networks.
