Notes:
The effect of polydispersity on liquid-liquid phase equilibrium in systems containing polymer, solvent, and nonsolvent is investigated numerically in the Flory-Huggins approximation for several special cases. The resulting phase diagrams indicate that, except in the immediate vicinity of the critical region, the degree of swelling of a polymer precipitate phase with a given number-average molecular weight is essentially independent of polydispersity.
