Abstract
We study the behavior of symmetric AB random copolymer systems with equal numbers of positive and negative charges on the
chains near the point of microphase separation. In the framework of the one-loop (Hartree) approximation the phase diagram
of this class of copolymer system as function of the number of charged monomers is calculated. We find two different regimes
in which microphase structure is stabilized by the long-range Coulomb interaction between charged groups or by the presence
of the bonds between the A and B monomers that want to segregate into domains.
