The classical concepts about unmixing of polymer blends (Flory-Huggins theory) and about
mesophase ordering in block copolymers (Leibler's theory) are briefly reviewed and their …

This review paper deals the history and development of various theories to predict the
diffusion in polymeric systems. The basis and application of various theories with the …

In this Perspective we summarize the most widely used definitions of free volume and
illustrate the differences between them, including the important distinction between total free …

Different polymers can be combined into a single material in many ways, which can lead to a
wide range of phase behaviors that directly influence the associated physical properties and …

The miscibility behavior of three binary mixtures, solvent with solvent, polymer with solvent,
and polymer with polymer, was studied by use of a combination of the Flory-Huggins theory …

The lattice cluster theory is extended to describe multicomponent mixturesof polymers with
monomers that have internal structuresand therefore extend over several lattice sites. One or …

We summarize our knowledge of the phase behavior of polymer solutions and blends using
a unified approach. We begin with a derivation of the Flory–Huggins expression for the …

This book is an introduction to polymers that focuses on the synthesis, structure, and
properties of the individual molecules that constitute polymeric materials. The authors …

Previous fundamental work on the solvent properties of carbon dioxide by the research
groups of McHugh, DeSimone, Johnston, and Eckert has been used as a road map for the …

The general lattice cluster theory of corrections to classic Flory-Huggins theory from paper 1
is applied to compressible binary polymer blends. The properties considered are the small …
