Survey of Results Obtained with the Self-Consistent Field Theory 

The basic quantities of the theory are monomer density operators 

The partition function then is written as a path integral [245], for the blend [Eq. (98)  

Here the exponential weighting factors represent gaussian statistics (gyration radii = bf N / 6, where we allow different effective segment lengths bA, bB for 

For explicit calculations, one needs to specify the form of the free energy functional 3F pA, PbJ in this self-consistent formulation in detail. Schmid [57] uses for 3 0 an extension of the generalized Flory theory [261]
