Liquid-liquid phase separation in concentrated solutions of non-crystallizable polymers by spinodal decomposition
In the past, investigations of phase separation in concentrated polymer solutions centered first of all on the crystallization kinetics (1) and morphology (2) of polymer crystals growing from solutions and, secondly, on the equilibrium thermodynamic properties of liquid-liquid phase separation phenomena (3). Papkov and Yefimova (4) have recently given a classification of different types of phas...
متن کاملSpinodal phase separation in liquid films with quenched disorder.
We study spinodal phase separation in unstable thin liquid films on chemically disordered substrates via simulations of the thin-film equation. The disorder is characterized by immobile patches of varying size and Hamaker constant. The effect of disorder is pronounced in the early stages (amplification of fluctuations), remains during the intermediate stages and vanishes in the late stages (dom...
متن کاملKinetics of spinodal phase separation in unstable thin liquid films.
We study universality in the kinetics of spinodal phase separation in unstable thin liquid films, via simulations of the thin film equation. It is shown that, in addition to morphology and free energy, the number density of local maxima in the film profile can also be used to identify the early, late, and intermediate stages of spinodal phase separation. A universal curve between the number den...
متن کاملPhase Separation of Viscous Ternary Liquid Mixtures
In this work we study the demixing of ternary liquid mixtures. Our theoretical model follows the standard diffuse interface model, where convection and diffusion are coupled via a body force, expressing the tendency of the mixture to minimize its free energy. This driving force induces a material flux which, in most cases, is much larger than that due to pure molecular diffusion. Here we model ...
متن کاملSpinodal decomposition of chemically reactive binary mixtures.
We simulate the influence of a reversible isomerization reaction on the phase segregation process occurring after spinodal decomposition of a deeply quenched regular binary mixture, restricting attention to systems wherein material transport occurs solely by diffusion. Our theoretical approach follows a diffuse-interface model of partially miscible binary mixtures wherein the coupling between r...
