PS-rich) phases occurred first at the surface area of the ternary solutions, where polymers were condensed due to solvent evaporation. The PEG-rich phase became droplets and had an ordered structure on the surface. The PEG-poor phase became a matrix where PS and solvent coexisted as a single phase solution. Secondary phase separation then followed in the PEG droplets, which was induced by further solvent evaporation, and formed into solvent-rich and PEG-rich domains within the droplets. Solvent evaporation and secondary phase separation created a cavity structure in each PEG droplet structured on the film surface.action against, among others, Pier 1 and the defendant Advanced Communications (hereinafter Advanced), another subcontrator on the project, to recover damages for personal injuries he sustained while working on the project. Pier 1 commenced a third-party action against Tricon and a second third-party action against TCM and another party. In both of those third-party actions, Pier 1 asserted, inter alia, a cause of action for contractual indemnification.
In an order dated August 21, 2015, the Supreme Court awarded summary judgment to Pier 1 on its contractual indemnification cause of action against Tricon and directed Tricon to pay Pier 1's reasonable litigation costs.
In an order dated May 12, 2016, the Supreme Court, inter alia, awarded summary judgment to the plaintiff on the cause of action alleging a violation of Labor
