contents We study a nonlocal variant of a thermodynamically consistent phase field model for binary mixtures of micropolar fluids, i.e., fluids exhibiting internal rotations. The model is described by a Navier--Stokes--Cahn--Hilliard system that extends the earlier nonlocal variants of the model introduced by Abels, Garcke and Grün for binary Newtonian fluid mixtures with unmatched densities. We establish the global 3D weak existence and global 2D strong well-posedness, followed by the weak convergence of the nonlocal model to its local counterpart as the nonlocal interaction kernel approaches the Dirac delta distribution. In the two dimensional setting we provide consistency estimates between strong solutions of the nonlocal micropolar model and strong solutions of nonlocal variants of the Abels--Garcke--Grün model and Model H.
