SUMMARY AND DISCUSSION Clausius-Clapeyron equation:
COMMENTS -- Compressible polymer blends are described by an equation-of-state and the ternary Random Phase Approximation (RPA) equations. -- The free volume plays the role of a third component. -- The Clausius-Clapeyron equation predicts the pressure-dependence of the phase transition lines. -- The Lower Critical Spinodal Temperature (LCST) and the UCST can increase or decrease with pressure. -- The LCST is due to specific interactions.
