40:3. FITTING OF THE SANS DATA Flory-Huggins interaction parameters:
COMMENTS -- The RPA was used to predict the spinodal temperature for a ternary polymer blend mixture with 2 hydrogenated and 1 deuterated polymer. -- The Flory-Huggins interaction parameters for the 3 pairs were obtained even for the pair comprised of 2 hydrogenated polymers.
