COMMENTS -- The Flory-Huggins model describes the phase behavior for polymer blends. It can predict the spinodal temperature. -- The Gibbs free energy density has two contributions: entropic and enthalpic. -- The Random Phase Approximation model is used to fit SANS data in the homogeneous (single-phase) region. -- Flory-Huggins interaction parameters can be measured.
