Abstract:
Multicomponentsystems are ubiquitous in nature and industry. While the physics of binary andternary liquid mixtures is well-understood, the thermodynamic and kineticproperties of N-component mixtures with N>3 have remained relativelyunexplored. Inspired by recent examples of intracellular phase separation, weinvestigate equilibrium phase behavior and morphology of N-component liquidmixtures within the Flory-Huggins theory of regular solutions. In order todetermine the number of coexisting phases and their compositions, we developeda new algorithm for constructing complete phase diagrams, based on numericalconvexification of the discretized free energy landscape. Together with aCahn-Hilliard approach for kinetics, we employ this method to study mixtureswith N=4 and 5 components. We report on both the coarsening behavior of suchsystems, as well as the resulting morphologies in 3D. We discuss how the numberof coexisting phases and their compositions can be extracted with PrincipalComponent Analysis (PCA) and K-Means clustering algorithms. Finally, we discusshow one can reverse engineer the interaction parameters and volume fractions ofcomponents in order to achieve a range of desired packing structures, such asnested ‘Russian dolls’ and encapsulated ‘Janus’ droplets.
