Abstract
The phase behavior of binary mixture systems of two crystallizable components including semicrystalline polymers and wholly-crystalline substances are investigated systematically. On the basis of the general melting temperature equation, the features of melting temperature diagram, i.e., higher and lower melting temperatures–composition relations are presented for three categories of binary mixtures; (A) two wholly-crystalline substances, (B) a semicrystalline polymer and a wholly-crystalline substance and (C) two semicrystalline polymers. Applications to two cases of binary mixtures are demonstrated; first, in category B, mixtures of polyethylene and n-alkane (literature data of Mandelkern et al.), and second, in category C, mixtures of nylon 6 and nylon 66 (our data in this series).
