Abstract
This study presents Monte Carlo simulations of the phase behavior and molecular organization of thin films of polymer blends. The mixtures are stabilized by the presence of noninteracting walls. A segregation of the minority phase to the walls occur due to the tendency of molecules at the center of the film to have a composition close to the bulk value. The average conformational properties of the chains is changed near the surfaces owing to a lower free energy of the system. Results show good agreement with the mean field theory.
