“…It is interesting to note that both b1 (Equation (39) or (40)) and b2 (Equation (47) or (48)) models lead to the following expressions shown by Equations (50) and (51) when φ 3 = 0 and φ 1 + φ 2 = 1, that is, in binary conditions: that are those obtained for BPS [23,25], evidencing the reliability of the models in spite of the mathematical complexity. The advantage of using χ(T, φ) and ε(T, φ) from models is the important reduction of the number of unknowns when mathematically solving the Equations (10)- (12).…”

“…These approximations simplify the calculations of cloud points or binodals in phase diagrams. [3] Recently, Campos et al [3,19] used this model to simulate the effect of nanospheres on monomer/polymer mixtures, in order to apply the conclusions obtained to thermodynamic studies of phase behavior, in the systems epoxy monomer/ thermoplastic modifier polymer in the presence of nanospheres, so establishing the basis of the thermodynamic treatment for various conversion levels in an epoxy matrix.…”

“…In order to predict or explain morphologies and properties, one must begin with a detailed phaseseparation thermodynamic description of the system, starting with the thermoset precursor (epoxy monomer), thus establishing the basis of the thermodynamic treatment to be carried out for various conversion levels in the epoxy matrix. [3] Alternatively, in recent years, there has been significant interest in the effect of nanoparticles on the behavior of polymer systems (homopolymers or block copolymer blends). [4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11] This interest stems from the fact that nanoparticle addition can dramatically change the properties of polymers or polymer blends, or as potential nanocompatibilizers for mixtures of immiscible polymers.…”
