We study the evolution of a system of dropwise aggregates suspended in a macroscopically homogeneous metastable colloid with account of both the reduction in metastability (the decrease in the parent colloid supersaturation) and the continuing initiation of new nuclei in the metastable surroundings.

Simulations based on Cahn-Hilliard spinodal decomposition theory for phase separation in thermally quenched polymer/solvent/nonsolvent systems are presented. Two common membrane-forming systems are studied, cellulose acetate [CA]/ acetone/water, and poly(ethersulfone) [PES]/dimethylsulfoxide [DMSO]/
The phase-separation process in segmented copolymers is treated by first-order kinetics which couples with the Fox equation to derive an expression for describing the change of soft segment T, with the annealing time. Kinetic data of five commercial polyurethanes have been analyzed. The studies conc
