On the evolution of phase separation in polymer blends

An investigation is undertaken into the dynamics of phase separation in polymer blends in order to try to understand the morphologies produced via spinodal decomposition and to identify ways to target beneficial morphologies. Cahn-Hilliard theory is used with the Flory-Huggins free energy to model p...
