We present a mesoscale computational study of a ternary polymer melt comprising of two immiscible homopolymers A and B, and a symmetric diblock copolymer AB. The system exhibits rich phase behavior such as microphase separations in the copolymer-rich region and macrophase separations in the homopolymer-rich region. We use Dissipative Particle Dynamics (DPD) and Dynamic mean-field Density Functional Theory (DDFT) to predict the phase behavior along a temperature–homopolymer volume fraction isopleth for an A/B/AB mesoscale system that mimics a real system of low molecular weight poly(dimethyl siloxane) (PDMS) and poly(ethyl ethylene) (PEE) homopolymers, and a nearly symmetric PDMS–PEE diblock copolymer.
