Immiscibility

{
  "id": "MLC-T-CHM-005622",
  "term": "Immiscibility",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "The inability of two or more substances, such as polymers, to mix or dissolve completely in each other to form a single homogeneous phase. This phenomenon arises from unfavorable thermodynamic interactions between the components. In polymer blends, immiscibility often leads to phase separation and the formation of distinct morphological domains.",
  "subject": "Polymer",
