Tuning the critical solution temperature of polymers by copolymerization [PDF]
, 2015 We study statistical copolymerization effects on the upper critical solution temperature (CST) of generic homopolymers by means of coarse-grained Langevin dynamics computer simulations and mean-field theory.

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.Molecular doping of conjugated polymers is fundamentally constrained by thermodynamic phase behavior. This Perspective reframes doping efficiency and stability in terms of miscibility limits, binodals, and solvus boundaries, highlighting the role of effective interaction parameters and charge transfer.

Hydrophobic-electrostatic balance driving the LCST offset aggregation-redissolution behavior of N-alkylacrylamide-based ionic terpolymers [PDF]
, 2010 A series of random terpolymers composed of N-isopropylacrylamide (NIPAAm), 2-acrylamido-2-methyl-1-propanesulfonic acid (AMPS), and N-tert-butylacrylamide (NTBAAm) monomers were synthesized by free radical polymerization.

Performance enhancement of aqueous ionic liquids with lower critical solution temperature (LCST) behavior through ternary mixtures [PDF]
Journal of Materials Chemistry AMixtures of two thermally responsive ionic liquids (ILs) in water exhibiting phase separation above a lower critical solution temperature (LCST) demonstrate a synergy that enhances the osmotic strength and lowers the LCST compared to binary mixtures.

Plasmonic Nanomachines: Creating Local Potential Gradients and Motions
Advanced Materials, EarlyView.Plasmonic nanomachines can generate optical, thermal, and chemical potential gradients to drive directional rectilinear, rotational, and twisting motions at the nanometer scale. The integration of multimodal plasmonic forces with functional materials and programmed structural distortions enables precise spatiotemporal actuation, thereby providing a ...

Solvent-induced micelle formation in a hydrophobic interaction model
, 2004 We investigate the aggregation of amphiphilic molecules by adapting the two-state Muller-Lee-Graziano model for water, in which a solvent-induced hydrophobic interaction is included implicitly.
