Using phase-field simulations, we investigate the bulk coarsening dynamics of ternary polymer solutions undergoing a glass transition for two models phase separation: diffusion only and with hydrodynamics. The is incorporated in both by imposing mobility viscosity contrasts between polymer-rich polymer-poor phases evolving microstructure. For microstructures composed clusters matrix, significantly hinder coarsening, effectively leading to structural arrest. do not impede domain growth;...
