The reason polymer-particle systems are of interest is that they can be used to study a number of systems. For example… Don’t talk too long about this!

I: Au(2) PS(10)-SH; P = 125, N = 10; sigma = 1.67 II: Au(5) PS(10)-SH; P = 125, N = 10; sigma = 1.39 III: Au(2) PS(10)-SH; P = 125, N = 480; sigma = 9.21 Tell why we model plate + brush
Say it right!
poly~methyl methacrylate! ~PMMA! and poly~vinyl chloride! ~PVC!, poly~styrene! ~PS!, and poly~2,6-dimethyl-1,4-phenylene oxide! ~PXE! State objectives differently – motivate how we are extending the problem from the limiting cases
Mention the presence of two kinds of chains We are proposing that SCFT provides a good way to study these systems

What really matters is fEff
Describe the interplay between enthalpy and entropy using SST Term 4 distinguishes the theory from autophobic Term 4 should be smaller for larger f Random copolymer should rearrange itself toward f = 1 Idea: modify term 4 based on fEff
