It is demonstrated that estimation of the pair-interaction function from polymer-blend cloud points cannot yield meaningful values if data are restricted to a single blend. Additional information is required, such as cloud points in another blend made up of samples of the same two polymers di †ering

A dynamic Monte Carlo (MC) simulation is performed to investigate the phase behavior of mixtures of flexible polymers and low molecular weight thermotropic liquid crystals (LCs). The polymer is represented by three-dimensional self-avoiding lattice chains, while the LC is described by the Lebwohl-La

Immiscible blends of thermotropic liquid crystalline polymers (TLCP) and a flexible polymer matrix show viscosity reductions and extensive fiber formation under certain flow conditions. Here we study these phenomena by directly examining the TLCP component's molecular orientation and the dispersed p
