Abstract
A model ternary polymer mixture is considered with bi- and tri-functio nal monomers and a solvent embedded on a honeycomb lattice. The model is shown to be equivalent to an eight-vertex model on the same lattice . Using this equivalence which further maps the problem into an Ising model in a non-zero magnetic field, an exact analysis of the model is carried out. The two phase coexistence surface in the temperature-comp osition space is determined exactly and connectivity properties of the model are studied.
