Advances in thermo-responsive polymers exhibiting upper critical solution temperature (UCST)
Immense work has been conducted in the field of thermoresponsive polymers specifically of lower critical solution temperature (LCST) type, but upper critical solution temperature (UCST) type polymers remain a significantly unexplored domain.

Dynamics of the Universal Confining String Theory on the Loop Space [PDF]
Starting with the representation of the Wilson average in the Euclidean 4D compact QED as a partition function of the Universal Confining String Theory, we derive for it the corresponding loop equation, alternative to the familiar one.

Effect of Molecular Weight on Phase Equilibrium in the Polystyrene–Poly(methyl methacrylate) System
Data on the solubility of oligomer polystyrene (PS) and poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) of various molecular weights have been obtained. The binodal and spinodal curves of the phase state diagram with the upper critical solution temperature (UCST) are ...

Constrained thermoresponsive polymers – new insights into fundamentals and applications
In the last decades, numerous stimuli-responsive polymers have been developed and investigated regarding their switching properties. In particular, thermoresponsive polymers, which form a miscibility gap with the ambient solvent with a lower or upper ...

Tuning the critical solution temperature of polymers by copolymerization [PDF]
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.

Colloid-stabilized emulsions: behaviour as the interfacial tension is reduced [PDF]
We present confocal microscopy studies of novel particle-stabilized emulsions. The novelty arises because the immiscible fluids have an accessible upper critical solution temperature.
