A statistical thermodynamic theory of the microdomain structure of block copolymers is presented in qualitative physical terms. Special emphasis is placed on a presentation of the final algebraic formula which may be used to determine lamellar domain sizes as a function of block length and physical parameters. Calculations on lamellar domains and preliminary results for spherical domains are compared with experiments. Other topics discussed are: width of the interphases, results of a more exact theory, and thermodynamic., stability of the domain structure.
