A numerical approach based on the string method is developed to study nucleation of ordered phases in first-order phase transitions. Among other things, this method allows an efficient computation of the minimum energy path (MEP) during the nucleation process. The MEP provides information about the

The aggregation properties of ammonium perfluorooctanoate (NH,-PFO) in concentrated aqueous phases have been investigated by magnetic resonance techniques and have been compared with the aggregation properties in dilute solutions. Magnetic resonance methods indicated that NH,-PFO-water systems with
## Abstract We have used selfβconsistent field theory to calculate the tensile moduli of triblock copolymers in lamellar microstructures prepared from linear and star architectures. The extensional moduli __K__~33~ are the main contributors to the tensile moduli, and the contribution of ${{\rm{K}}{
