An analytically tractable, more realistic extension of random copolymer Flory−Huggins (FH) theory is developed for AxB1-x/CyD1-y, AxB1-x/AyB1-y, and A/CyD1-y random copolymer binary blends. The theory describes the polymer−polymer interactions in terms of the interactions between united atom groups and includes a temperature-independent contribution χs to the effective interaction parameter χ. χs is determined (with no adjustable parameters) from the lattice cluster theory in the incompressible, athermal, fully flexible, long-chain limit. The general, readily applied expressions for the interaction parameter χ are illustrated for norbornene-co-ethylene (NxE1-x/NyE1-y) random copolymer mixtures for which the theory has been successfully used by Delfolie et al. (Macromolecules 1999, 32, 7781) to explain miscibility data that depart significantly from the predictions of classic random copolymer FH theory. Further illustrations describe the influence of chain semiflexibility and sequence dependence on the mis...
