TL;DR:
A self-consistent field theoretical approach is used to quantitatively evaluate the segregation and interfacial excess of low-molar-mass and nanoscale species in ordered triblock copolymers as functions of block selectivity and inclusion size, and the predictions are found to agree with the morphology observed in a model triblockCopolymer/nanoparticle composite, demonstrating the generality of this approach.
