Abstract
We propose an exactly solvable self-consistent kinetic model of polymerization-induced phase separation (PIPS) via spinodal decomposition. Using modified Cahn-Hilliard and Glotzer-Coniglio theories for early and late stages of spinodal decomposition, we find scaling regimes and compare the obtained results with existing experimental and theoretical information on PIPS kinetics, finding a good qualitative agreement.
