This research aims to understand how fluid phase equilibrium occurs in polydisperse systems using conformal solutions.
Utilized extended theory of conformal solutions to analyze fluid phase behavior.
Investigated the impact of interparticle forces on phase distribution.
Explored phase transitions relevant to colloidal dispersions.
Demonstrated that particle distribution is more affected by interparticle forces than the equation of state.
Identified conditions under which a polydisperse system separates into two liquid phases below the upper critical solution point.
Discussed implications for electrostatically-stabilized colloidal dispersions.
