Nanostructure formation in various block copolymer systems is investigated by means of cell dynamics and dynamic self-consistent field simulations. The emphasis will be given on dynamics of systems subjected to externally applied fields such as electric field, shear flow and surface fields. Several examples will be discussed. Details of dynamic rearrangement of various structures such as lamellae, hexagonally packed cylinders, spheres, hexagonally perforated lamellae and gyroid under various fields will be reported.
