Phase diagrams of ternary systems containing two semiflexible polymer components 1 and 2 can be calculated from thermodynamic functions given by Eqs. 26-28. The thick solid curves and thin solid segments in Fig. 9 are calculated binodals and tie lines, respectively [17]3. In the calculation, the diameter... 

Since oil and water are noi miscible with each other, there is necessarily a biphasic region near the UW side of the ternary diagram, so-called bottom biphasic region, which is a thin strip of vety small extension in most diagrams. Experimental evidence indicates that the bottom lie line of the threc phase triangle is located at a height that corresponds to the CMCs so that no aggregation structure is found in the excess phases, a situation that precludes the existence of any solubilization. 

As oil and water are not miscible with each other, there is necessarily a biphasic region near the OW side of the ternary diagram. Experimental evidence indica.tes that this so-called bottom biphasic region is a thin band that does not appear practically in most diagrams. The so-called bottom tie-line that joins the points representing the excess water and the excess oil phase in Type III systems has been found to be almost horizontal for anionic systems and at an amphiphile concentration about the critical micelle concentration in the aqueous phase [41,42].
