dc.description.abstract	Diblock copolymers confined to a two-dimensional surface may produce uniform features of macromolecular dimensions (10 âˆ’ 100 nm). We present a mathematical model for nanoscale pattern formation in such polymers which captures the dynamic evolution of a solution of poly(styrene)- b-poly(ethylene oxide), PS-b-PEO, in solvent at an air-water interface. The model has no fitting parameters and incorporates the effects of surface tension gradients, entanglement or vitrification, and diffusion. The resultant morphologies are quantitatively compared with experimental data.	en
