## Abstract A nonlinear diffusion equation is used to study the spinodal decomposition of binary polymer mixtures. The structure of steadyβstate solutions is analyzed. The free energy of the system for the solutions is shown to be a nonincreasing time function. The solution with the minimum free en
The mathematical theory of spinodol decomposition is reviewed. While the theory is self-consistent within its assumptions, some of the assumptions are indicated to be questionable. An alternative formulation is proposed in terms of a set of phenomenological coefficients to be determined by carrelati
