Notes:
The phase diagram of ternary mixtures composed of cellulose, polyacrylonitrile and dimethylacetamide-7% LiCl was determined at room temperature. Homogeneous solutions were observed at low polymer concentrations. Two demixing areas were experimentally evidenced when the concentration increased: the first corresponds to an equilibrium between isotropic phases, while the second represents the coexistence of a cellulose mesophase with an isotropic phase. The diagram is discussed in terms of the interaction parameters, determined via light scattering.
