Phase field method is playing an increasingly important role in understanding and predicting morphological evolution in materials and biological systems. Here, we develop a new analytical approach based on bifurcation analysis to explore…
Much work has been devoted to analysing thermodynamic models for solid dispersions with a view to identifying regions in the phase diagram where amorphous phase separation or drug recrystallization can occur. However, detailed partial…
In part I of this contribution we have reported how the Flory-Huggins interaction parameter chi can be modeled as a function of chain length within the composition range of pair interaction between the macromolecules by means of the three…
An effective method to obtain exact analytical solutions of equations describing the coherent dynamics of multilevel systems is presented. The method is based on the usage of orthogonal polynomials, integral transforms and their discrete…
The conditions of multi-phase equilibrium are solved for generic polydisperse systems. The case of multiple polydispersity is treated, where several properties (e.g. size, charge, shape) simultaneously vary from one particle to another. By…
We discuss exact analytical solutions of a variety of statistical models recently obtained for finite systems by a novel powerful mathematical method, the Laplace-Fourier transform. Among them are a constrained version of the statistical…
By introducing an auxiliary parameter, we find a new representation for Feynman integrals, which defines a Feynman integral by analytical continuation of a series containing only vacuum integrals. The new representation therefore…
The physical chemistry of liquid-liquid phase separation (LLPS) of polymer solutions bears directly on the assembly of biologically functional droplet-like bodies from proteins and nucleic acids. These biomolecular condensates include…
We review various methods to investigate the statics and the dynamics of collective composition fluctuations in dense polymer mixtures within fluctuating-field approaches. The central idea of fluctuating-field theories is to rewrite the…
This paper shows how to build a formal analytical solution for a differential equation of arbitrary order and with variable coefficients. It proofs that the most known approximated solutions for such a problem can be derived from the…
The Cahn-Hilliard system has been used to describe a wide number of phase separation processes, from co-polymer systems to lipid membranes. In this work the convergence properties of a closest-point based scheme is investigated. In place of…
A finite difference numerical scheme is proposed and analyzed for the Cahn-Hilliard-Stokes system with Flory-Huggins energy functional. A convex splitting is applied to the chemical potential, which in turns leads to the implicit treatment…
In this paper we propose and analyze a finite difference numerical scheme for the Flory-Huggins-Cahn-Hilliard equation with dynamical boundary condition. The singular logarithmic potential is included in the Flory-Huggins energy expansion.…
In this work, we study a system of coupled Cahn-Hilliard equations describing the phase separation of a copolymer and a homopolymer blend. The numerical methods we propose are based on suitable combinations of existing schemes for the…
The width of the distribution of species in a polydisperse system is employed in a small-variable expansion, to obtain a well-controlled and compact scheme by which to calculate phase equilibria in multi-phase systems. General and universal…
This is the first of two parts investigating the Flory-Huggins interaction parameter chi as a function of composition and chain length. Part I encompasses experimental and theoretical work. The former comprises the synthesis of…
Cononsolvency occurs when mixing two good solvents creates poor-solvent conditions for polymers over specific composition ranges, causing macroscopic phase separation or microscopic chain collapse. Despite its technological and biophysical…
We propose an implementation of a method based on Fourier analysis to obtain the Floquet characteristic exponents for periodic homogeneous linear systems, which shows a high precision. This implementation uses a variational principle to…
We investigate the analytical solution of a two-level system subject to a monochromatical, linearly polarized external field that was published a couple of years ago. In particular, we derive an explicit expression for the quasienergy.…
The Allen--Cahn equation is one of fundamental equations of phase-field models, while the logarithmic Flory--Huggins potential is one of the most useful energy potentials in various phase-field models. In this paper, we consider numerical…
