In this Review, we present a critical analysis of various applications of the Flory-type theories
to a theoretical description of the conformational behavior of single polymer chains in dilute …

The stretching of a single dipolar chain by a tensile force acting on the chain end is studied
using molecular dynamics simulations and theoretical considerations. In both theory and …

The effect of an interplay between electrostatic and excluded volume interactions on the
conformational behavior of a dipolar chain has been studied theoretically and by means of …

The experimentally observed swelling and collapse response of weakly charged polymers
to the addition of specific salts displays quite convoluted behavior that is not easy to …

The swelling of a poly (methyl methacrylate) in supercritical carbon dioxide was studied by
means of full atomistic classical molecular dynamics simulation. In order to characterize the …

We present a simple analytical theory of a flexible polymer chain dissolved in a good
solvent, carrying permanent freely oriented dipoles on the monomers. We take into account …

Theoretical models of the conformational behavior of flexible polymer chains in mixed
solvents enunciated in the world literature during the last decade are critically reviewed …

We present a new simple self-consistent field theory of a polarizable flexible polymer chain
under an external constant electric field with account for the many-body electrostatic dipole …

The process of poly (methyl methacrylate)(PMMA) matrix impregnation with mefenamic acid
(MFA) in a supercritical carbon dioxide medium has been studied by the full atomistic …

We present an application of Flory-type theory of a flexible polymer chain dissolved in a
binary mixture of solvents to theoretical description of co-nonsolvency. We show that our …
