Lower critical solution temperature (LCST) polymer solution for clear/cloud glazing applications

Journal of Applied Polymer Science, 1994
AbstractAn aqueous‐based clear/cloud solution was developed using poly(vinyl methyl ether) and an antifreeze mixture of ethylene and propylene glycols. The solution has a controllable cloud point from 15 to 90°C, freeze protection to −46°C, and a density that prevents the precipitated polymer from settling and is fairly stable to UV degradation.

Lower critical solution temperature (LCST) phase separation of glycol ethers for forward osmotic control

Phys. Chem. Chem. Phys., 2014
Lower critical solution temperature (LCST) phase transition of glycol ethers by a mild temperature gradient induces a drastic change in osmotic pressure to enable energy-efficient forward osmosis (FO) desalination.

Ionic Liquid Modifies the Lower Critical Solution Temperature (LCST) of Poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) in Aqueous Solution

The Journal of Physical Chemistry B, 2011
The effect of the imidazolium based ionic liquid (IL) 1-benzyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate ([Bzmim][BF(4)]) was investigated on the lower critical solution temperature (LCST) of poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAM) in aqueous solution by using fluorescence, viscometric, and dynamic light scattering (DLS) techniques.

Poly(n-butyl methacrylate) in Ionic Liquids with Tunable Lower Critical Solution Temperatures (LCST)

The Journal of Physical Chemistry B, 2011
We describe the lower critical solution temperature (LCST)-type phase behavior of poly(n-butyl methacrylate) (PnBMA) (M =13,000 and 48,000) dissolved in 1-alkyl-3-methylimidazolium bis{(trifluoromethyl) sulfonyl}amide ionic liquids (ILs). The temperature-composition phase diagrams of these PnBMA/IL systems are strongly asymmetric with the critical ...

Biocompatible poly( N -(ω-acryloyloxy- n -alkyl)-2-pyrrolidone)s with widely-tunable lower critical solution temperatures (LCSTs): a promising alternative to poly( N -isopropylacrylamide)

Polymer Chemistry, 2022
The biocompatible (co)polymers undergoes a thermal stimulus-driven liquid–liquid phase separation and form coacervates above the lower critical solution temperature (LCST). The LCSTs are able to be precisely controlled between 0 °C and 100 °C.

The lower critical solution temperature (LCST) of non‐polar polymer solutions: An introduction

Polymer Engineering & Science, 1982
AbstractThe phase behavior at high temperatures of non‐polar polymer solutions is discussed in a qualitative way in terms of the free volume theory of liquids developed by Prigogine, Patterson and Flory. This theory is necessary to explain the existence of a Lower Critical Solution Temperature (LCST) in non‐polar polymer solutions and the related ...

Zwitterionic poly(sulfobetaine methacrylate)s in water: from upper critical solution temperature (UCST) to lower critical solution temperature (LCST) with increasing length of one alkyl substituent on the nitrogen atom

Polymer Chemistry, 2018
Increasing the alkyl length on nitrogen of the polymer changes behaviour from UCST, to soluble, LCST, and insoluble.

Microcalorimetric Study of the Effects of a Chaotropic Salt, KSCN, on the Lower Critical Solution Temperature (LCST) of Aqueous Poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPA) Solutions

Macromolecules, 2009
The LCST phase-transition of aqueous PNIPA solutions in rising concentrations of the strong chaotropic salt KSCN was studied microcalorimetrically by DSC and apparently for the first time by ITC. An endothermic (entropy driven) binding of KSCN onto PNIPA was observed, explained by electrostatic perturbation of hydrophobic hydration by adsorbed ions.

Thermoresponsive light scattering device utilizing surface behavior effects between polyimide and an ionic liquid-water mixture exhibiting lower critical solution temperature (LCST)-type phase separation

Journal of Applied Physics, 2018
We proposed a thermoresponsive light scattering device that utilizes the surface behavior between polyimide and an ionic liquid-water mixture exhibiting lower critical solution temperature (LCST)-type phase separation. The LCST behavior for an ionic liquid device utilizing the polyimide with and without alkyl side chains was investigated.
