      abstract     = {Mixtures of semiflexible polymers with a mismatch in either
                      their persistence lengths or their contour lengths are
                      studied by Density Functional Theory and Molecular Dynamics
                      simulation. Considering lyotropic solutions under good
                      solvent conditions, the mole fraction and pressure is
                      systematically varied for several cases of bending stiffness
                      κ (the normalized persistence length) and chain length N.
                      For binary mixtures with different chain length (i.e.,
                      NA=16, NB=32 or 64) but the same stiffness,
                      isotropic-nematic phase coexistence is studied. For mixtures
                      with the same chain length (N=32) and large stiffness
                      disparity (κB/κA=4.9 to 8), both isotropic-nematic and
                      nematic-nematic unmixing occur. It is found that the phase
                      diagrams may exhibit a triple point or a nematic-nematic
                      critical point, and that coexisting phases differ
                      appreciably in their monomer densities. The properties of

                      radii, etc.) in the various phases are studied in detail,
                      and predictions on the (anisotropic) critical behavior near
