Exploring physical phenomena, such as phase separation, this book presents methods to design polymer blends and predict the phase behavior of binary polymer blends using desktop computers. It describes the thermodynamic basis for miscibility as well as the mathematical models used to predict the compositional window of miscibility and construct temperature versus volume-fraction phase diagrams. The book covers the binary interaction model, the solubility parameter approach, and the entropic difference model. Using equation of state theories, thermodynamic models, and information from physical properties, it illustrates the construction of phase envelopes.
