We develop a computer model to study heterogeneous copolymerization, including living processes. We use computer simulations by Dissipative Particle Dynamics and predict in details the polymerization process and resulting system structure while some segregation can occur during the chain growth. During copolymerization of initially miscible bicomponent blend of monomers the microphase separation can occurs under certain conditions. That process change dramatically the system morphology and average blockiness of the chain. The model verification with experimental data and other available literature data on styrene-acrylic acid copolymerization was performed. Finally we propose a promising system to prepare one-step synthesis of system with Polymerization Induced Microphase Separation by gradient copolymers.
