Abstract

The topological analysis of phase equilibria in polymer systems, which was developed by S.P. Papkov; the classification of the types of phase equilibrium; the principle of mutual independence of the two types of equilibrium; the concept of the generality of the phase equilibrium in polymer-solvent, polymer-plasticizer, polymer-oligomer, and polymer-polymer systems; and the processes of water sorption by polymers are considered. It is shown that the problems that Papkov dealt with remain topical and the concepts that he elaborated can underlie new studies in the field of phase equilibria in polymer systems.
