A brief introduction to the theory of block copolymer/homopolymer mixtures is presented. All important effects, such as stretching of the polymer chains, changes in the conformational entropy at an interface, enthalpic and configurational effects, as well as connectedness of the blocks of the copolymer are included in the model.
