Abstract
We proposed a tight-binding model for diblock copolymers. Electronic struct ure calculations presented for poly(p-phenylene)/polyacetylene revealed tha t the band gap of copolymers can be tuned by changing the concentration rat io of the homopolymers. The effect of homopolymer interactions on the band structure of copolymers has been studied. The results were compared with th e known experimental data.
