Self-consistent-field theory for interacting polymeric assemblies. I. Formulation, implementation, and benchmark tests
A self-consistent-field theory for interacting polymeric assemblies is formulated, implemented, and tested using bispherical coordinates. The theory can treat interacting spherical assemblies of same size and of different sizes. Possible generalization of the theory to ellipsoidal and cylindrical assemblies is discussed.
