Abstract
We investigate the decomposition of a polymer blend film by Monte Carlo simulations. For this we have calculated the coexistance curve of polymers with length N=10 monomers and present estimates of the exponents characterising the growth of the typical domains. The scaling properties of the decomposition process is also investigated.
