An illustration of a lipid-water phase diagram, in which the transitions are driven by water content, is shown in Fig. 2 (43). A similar phase sequence can be produced by changes in temperature as well, and phospholipid phase diagrams generally exhibit pronounced temperature dependence. A generalized phase sequence of thermotropic phase transitions for the typical membrane lipids can be defined (44) ...

Systems of dipolar molecules are common, and their phase diagrams, generally, do not differ qualitatively from those of simple fluid models where the particles interact by a spherically symmetric van der Waals potential. For instance, it is expected that a small dipole moment influences the location of the liquid-gas (1-g) critical point but does not preclude this first order transition. It was realized, mainly on the basis of numerical simulations, that the phase diagram of systems where the dipole-dipole interaction is the dominant interaction differs largely from the standard scheme of successive gas-Uquid and fluid-solid transitions. In addition strong dipolar interactions seem to be able to generate fluid or solid ferroelectric phases. The properties of simple systems of dipolar particles are presented and discussed below.

As pointed out in the introduction, the majority of the intra-rare-earth, aetinide-rare earth and intra-actinide binary alloys do not possess any intermetallic compounds in the solid state (the exceptions will be pointed out later). The phase diagrams generally exhibit complete or extended solid solutions depending of course on the respective crystalline structures of the components. The allotropic forms of rare earths and actinides (Gschneidner 1990b) are presented in fig. 63 with the purpose of making the following more understandable. 

The L/D configiu ation in PLAs does not influence the phase behavior of PLA/PESu blends however, the molecular weights aie apparently correlated with the temperature of UCST phase diagrams. Generally. UCST is elevated with increase of of PLAs in the blends.

Full binary phase diagrams generally include other issues such as melting or boiling. Thus a complete treatment of the phase relationships in a mixture will involve additional calculations to estimate the energy of the other phases. The stable compositions and phases are those with the lowest overall energy. A consequence of...
