Synergistic Approaches in the Design and Applications of UCST Polymers
Macromolecular Rapid Communications, 2023 Abstract This review summarizes recent progress in the synergistic design strategy for thermoresponsive polymers possessing an upper critical solution temperature (UCST) in aqueous systems. To achieve precise control of the responsive behavior of the UCST polymers, their molecular design can benefit from a synergistic effect of ...

A Unifying Thermodynamic Model for Phase Separation and Aging of Biopolymers. [PDF]
Adv Sci (Weinh)Phase separation and aging of intrinsically disordered proteins are placed in a unifying framework. A thermodynamically consistent time‐dependent version of associating‐polymer theory shows how the processes are intricately coupled. Assuming aging to occur through interacting sites resulting from reversible conformational transitions, the model ...

Analysis of design elements in universal course shell templates of high-ranking universities
Knowledge Management & E-Learning: An International Journal, 2022 Despite popular myths related to the design and development of an online course, the endeavor is rather complicated. Universal Course Shell Templates (UCSTs) can alleviate teachers’ workload, support teachers in taking pedagogically sound decisions, and ...

Smart hydrogels exhibiting UCST-type volume changes under physiologically relevant conditions† [PDF]
RSC Advances, 2014 In this study, we prepared hydrogels composed of poly(allylurea) copolymers that exhibited UCST-type phase separation behaviour. This is the first example of a hydrogel showing a positive thermo-sensitive volume change under physiologically relevant ...
