Predictive construction of phase diagram of ternary solutions containing polymer/solvent/nonsolvent using modified Flory-Huggins model

Abstract
The Flory-Huggins (FH) model has been one of the most used models in theoretical calculations which has been proved to be sensitive to values assigned as interaction parameters. In this work, a predictive equation is implemented to implicitly couple the concept of compressible regular solution theory of Ruzette and Mayes into the original FH model to obtain a new concertation-dependent interaction parameter equation. Then, the modified model (m-FH) is applied for construction of phase diagram of ternary solutions containing polymer/solvent/nonsolvent where experimental data for ternary systems were collected from the literature. In order to compare and analyze the model performance, the individual absolute relative deviation (IARD (%)) was used. The m-FH model revealed acceptable accuracy in calculations without prior need for correlation to experimental data.
