A mixture of three polymers will almost always be immiscible
Solvents (small molecules) are usually miscible because mixing causes disorder (high entropy) which is favorable. So, although water and acetone have very different polarities, they still mix.
Polymers (large molecules) do not gain much entropy by mixing so they usually do not mix on a molecular level.
I have a slide on this in some of my training webinars.
