In this paper, we develop a fully discrete scheme to solve the confined ternary blended polymers (TBP) model with four order parameters based on the stabilized-scalar auxiliary variable (S-SAV) approach in time and the Fourier spectral method in space. Then, theoretical analysis is given for the scheme based on the backward differentiation formula. The unconditional energy stability and mass conservation are derived. Rigorous error analysis is carried out to show that the fully discrete scheme converges with order $\mathcal{O}(\tau^2+h^m)$ in the sense of the $L^2$ norm, where $\tau$ is the time step, $h$ is the spatial step, and $m$ is the regularity of the exact solution. Finally, some numerical results are given to demonstrate the theoretical analysis. Moreover, the phase separation of two kinds of polymer particles, namely, Ashura and Janus core-shell particles, is presented to show the morphological structures.
