complete wetting case<br />

A phenomenological mo<strong>de</strong>l suggested by Guo et al.(Guo, Gvozdic, & Meier, 1997; Guo,<br />

Packirisamy, Gvozdic, & Meier, 1997) was used to predict the morphology of ternary and<br />

quaternary blends. They used interfacial area associated with interfacial tension and <strong>de</strong>rived an<br />

expression for the free energy of mixing of a multiphase blend. The free energy calculation is<br />

written as:<br />
