Abstract
The phase behavior and interfacial tension of ternary polymeric mixtures (polystyrene/polystyrene-b-poly(methyl methacrylate)/poly(methyl methacrylate), PS/PS-b-PMMA/PMMA) are investigated by dissipative particle dynamics (DPD) simulations. Our simulation results show that, as the PS-b-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 fixed, with the increase of the chain lengths of PS and PMMA homopolymers the interfacial width becomes wider and the interfacial tension becomes smaller, due to the copolymers presenting more stretched and swollen structures in the mixtures with the short length of homopolymers. However, with simultaneously increasing chain lengths of both diblock copolymer and homopolymers with a fixed ratio, the interfacial tension increases because the copolymer chains with longer chain length penetrate more deeply into the homopolymer phase and the interactions between diblock copolymers become weaker. These results will provide a way to mix incompatible homopolymers to improve material performances.

Abstract
In this paper, we construct an efficient and simple coarse grained (CG) model for atactic polystyrene (PS) by using a 1 : 1 mapping scheme at 463 K and 1 atm pressure and derive the corresponding bonded and non-bonded potentials in the CG force field (FF) via a direct Boltzmann inversion approach and a combined structure-based and thermodynamic quantities-based CG method, respectively.
