The association model developed to predict the phase behaviour of binary hydrogen-bonded polymer blends are extended to ternary polymer blends containing a polymer that self-associate in the form of dimers and two polymers thats do not self-associates but are able to form hydrogen bond with the first. The equation for the spinodal is derived from expressions describing the free energy of mixing polymers that interact through the formation of hydrogen bonds. Calculations for ternary spinodal phase diagram are performed to determine the miscibility of polymer blends. It is shown that the results are similar to those obtained in another type of ternary polymer blends containing a polymer(Poly B) that is capable of self - association through the formation of linear hydrogen - bonded chain-like structure and two polymers(Poly A and Poly C)that do not self - associate, and there are no strong hydrogen bonds formed between them but are able to form hydrogen bond with the first [1]. As shown in ref 1 only when the △K(chemical force) and △χ(physical force) effects are well balanced it is expected to be found miscible ternary polymer blends.
