Cononsolvency is an intriguing phenomenon where a polymer collapses in a mixture of
good solvents. This cosolvent-induced modulation of the polymer solubility has been …

Pressure is a key variable in the phase behavior of responsive polymers, both for
applications and from a fundamental point of view. In this feature article, we review recent …

The wide range of applications of poly (N-isopropylacrylamide)(PNIPAM) is based on the
temperature dependence of its coil-to-globule transition, which strongly relies on the solvent …

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 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 …

Here, we present a new model of adsorption-induced deformation of mesoporous solids.
The model is based on a simplified version of local density functional theory in the …

On the basis of a minimal lattice model, we apply the Wang–Landau Monte Carlo (MC)
algorithm and a Flory-type mean-field theory to investigate the conformation of a …

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 …

Sorption hysteresis in nanoporous polymer is an intriguing phenomenon that involves
coupling between sorption and deformation. Based on the mechanism revealed at the …

The cononsolvency effect of poly (N-isopropylacrylamide)(PNIPAM) in a mixture of water
and methanol is investigated at variable temperatures (∼ 20–50° C) and pressures (0.1 …
