1. The Flory-Huggins parameter between polystyrene (PS) and poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) is given by: 1.96 x=0.0129 + (1) T (i) For a blend of PS/PMMA (NA = NB = 1000) containing a PS volume fraction of $ = 0.20, will the blend phase separate by spinodal decomposition or nucleation and growth? Justify your answer mathematically. (ii) What is the critical volume fraction (c) and interaction parameter (Xe)? 1.
