In the phase behavior of binary polymer/solvent mixtures, a lower critical solution temperature (LCST) and hour‐glass shaped and closed miscibility loop phase behavior are encountered. The closed miscibility loop phase behavior may be mainly due to highly oriented interactions such as hydrogen bonding. The purpose of this study is to describe closed miscibility loop phase behavior in the liquid‐liquid equilibria of polymer solutions. To consider highly oriented interactions (or specific interactions), we employed a secondary lattice concept as a perturbation term.
