USE OF REGULAR SOLUTION THEORY FOR CALCULATING BINARY MESOGENIC PHASE-DIAGRAMS EXHIBITING AZEOTROPE-LIKE BEHAVIOR FOR LIQUID 2-PHASE REGIONS .1. SIMPLE MINIMUM FORMING SYSTEMS

Many binary phase diagrams of mesomorphic components exhibit minimum azeotrope-like phase behavior. Regular solution theory is successfully applied to calculate such phase diagrams. In addition, an empirical correlation between the regular solution parameters and molar volume ratio of the components comprising a mixture is proposed and shown to have considerable utility. © 1979 American Chemical Society.
