The relative solubility and phase relationships are presented for ternary mixtures consisting of the polymer tetrabromobisphenol‐A polycarbonate in three representative good solvents and nine nonsolvents. The effects of temperature, composition, compound structure, compound molecular weight, and hydroxyl concentration upon the relative solvent power of the liquid mixtures and thus upon the phase borders separating one phase from multiphase compositions are discussed. The importance of such information for the preparation of permselective membranes is emphasized. © 1993 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
