Abstract

A statistical mechanical treatment of phase equilibria in mixtures of thermotropic nematic liquid crystals with nonuniformly distributed polymers is given. Based on the Flory lattice model of nematic fluids it allows the explicit calculation of coexistence curves, cloud point curves and phase volume ratios without invoking adjustable parameters. It is shown that the strong fractionation taking place in nematic-isotropic phase equilibria has a profound influence on the phase behavior.
