In this paper we discuss a new generalized time-dependent Ginzburg-Landau theory for the numerical calculation of polymer phase separation kinetics in 3D. The thermodynamic forces are obtained by a mean-field density functional method, using a Gaussian chain as a molecular model. The method is especially aimed at describing the formation kinetics of the irregular morphologies which are typical for many industrial systems. As proof of concept we present the formation of irregular morphologies in quenched symmetric and asymmetric block copolymer melts.
