5 Phase Separation Kinetics in Reactive Polymer Systems 

In order to attempt to quantitatively analyze the kinetics of phase separation of the reactive ternary PMAA/MAA/water system, the derivation in the Appendix was initially used, starting with Eq. (A.l) up to Eq. (A.39). For the continuity equation, a more general form was used  

Equation (1.5.2) describes early-stage as well as late-stage behaviors of a spin-odal decomposition process in any coordinate system.
