Among the topics are spinodal decomposition versus nucleation and growth, using the lattice Boltzmann algorithm, to explore phase ordering in fluids, aging in domain growth, morphological transitions in microphase-separated diblock copolymers, and the dynamics of phase transitions in solids.
In this work, the effects of temperature, composition, and conversion on phase transformation in the reactive St-VE-copolymer-modifier quaternary system were analyzed by calculating the evolution of the spinodal decomposition temperature during the reaction.
The organized pattern is similar to the so-called bicontinuous spinodal decomposition structures, which are usually found during the phase separation in the systems of multi-components.
