Abstract: In this article we investigate and develop specific aspects of Friedmann-Robertson-Walker (FRW) scalar field cosmologies related to the interpretation that canonical and phantom scalar field sources may be interpreted as cosmological configurations with a mixture of two interacting barotropic perfect fluids: a matter component ho1(t) with a stiff equation of state (p1=ho1), and an "effective vacuum energy" ho2(t) with a cosmological constant equation of state (p2=ho2). An important characteristic of this alternative equivalent formulation in the framework of interacting cosmologies is that it gives, by choosing a suitable form of the interacting term Q, an approach for obtaining exact and numerical solutions. The choice of Q merely determines a specific scalar field with its potential, thus allowing to generate closed, open and flat FRW scalar field cosmologies.
