Abstract
We present a numerical algorithm to evaluate the self-consistent field theory for melts composed of block copolymers with multiply branched architecture. We present results for the case of branched copolymers with doubly functional groups for multiple-branching generations. We discuss the stability of the cubic phase of spherical micelles, the A15 phase, as a consequence of the tendency of the AB interfaces to conform to the polyhedral environment of the Voronoi cell of the micelle lattice.Entities:
