Phase and conformational behavior of LCST-driven stimuli responsive polymers

Phase and conformational behavior of LCST-driven stimuli responsive polymers

Several analytical mean field models are presented for the class of stimuli responsive polymers that are driven by the lower critical solution temperature (LCST) transition. For solutions above the polymer crossover concentration, a hybrid model combines lattice-fluid excluded volume and van-der-Waa...
