J. G. Plummer, J. Kiefer]  The Flory-Huggins equation has been used to model the equilibrium phase behaviour of a solvent-modified epoxy resin intended for the fabrication of porous components by chemically induced phase separation followed by evacuation of the solvent after curing. Points in composition-temperature space corresponding to a transition from homogeneous to heterogeneous postcuring microstructures have been identified for a variety of solvents using a thermal gradient oven. Assuming this transition to coincide with the cloud-point curve corresponding to the gel point of the resin, the data were used in conjunction with the predictions of the Flory-Huggins equation to estimate the interaction parameter and its temperature dependence for each solvent. Phase diagrams in composition-conversion space were then calculated for a range of curing temperatures.
