摘要：

The phase diagram of a symmetric binary polymer blend confined into a thin film with asymmetric boundary conditions was discussed using the Monte Carlo simulations. For large film thicknesses, a first order interface localization-delocalization transition, and the phase diagram, which are the finite width analogies of the prewetting critical point were presented. The features of the phase diagram and its dependence on the film thickness obtained using Monte Carlo simulations, were in accordance with the results of mean field theory.
