The phase behavior and interfacial tension of ternary polymeric mixtures (polystyrene/polystyrene-<i>b</i>-poly(methyl methacrylate)/poly(methyl methacrylate), PS/PS-<i>b</i>-PMMA/PMMA) are investigated by dissipative particle dynamics (DPD) simulations. Our simulation results show that, as the PS-<i>b</i>-PMMA diblock copolymer concentration increases, the interfacial tension decreases due to the decayed correlations between homopolymers PS and PMMA. When the chain lengths of copolymers are fix ...[more]
