Macromolecular Rapid Communications, EarlyView.We have developed a thermoresponsive microgel system for the selective enrichment of hyaluronic acid‐binding tumor cells. By modulating the adhesion on the microgel surface via temperature changes from 37°C to 30°C, we demonstrate a novel proof‐of‐principle for separating these tumor cell from white blood cells, which has potential applications in ...

Nonionic UCST-Type Hydrogel Materials
, 2023 Thermoresponsive polymers undergo a phase transition upon a temperature change in a solution. Depending on which temperature the phase transition occurs in solution, two types of thermoresponsive polymers are defined: lower critical solution temperature (LCST)- and upper critical solution (UCST)-type polymers.

Closed-loop phase equilibria of a symmetrical associating mixture of square-well molecules examined by Gibbs ensemble Monte Carlo simulation [PDF]
, 2000 A closed loop of liquid-liquid immiscibility for a simple model binary symmetrical mixture of square-well monomers with a single short-ranged interaction site has been recently observed using the Gibbs ensemble Monte Carlo technique @L. A.

Polymer Gel-Liquid Equilibria Using Uniface-FV [PDF]
Iranian Journal of Chemistry & Chemical Engineering, 1992 Based on Gibbs-Duhem law and using UNIFAC-FV computer algorithm, the activity of polymer component in polymer-solvent systems is determined. The variation of activity of components with concentration at different temperatures are used to find the ...

Kosmotropes and chaotropes: modelling preferential exclusion, binding and aggregate stability [PDF]
, 2004 Kosmotropic cosolvents added to an aqueous solution promote the aggregation of hydrophobic solute particles, while chaotropic cosolvents act to destabilise such aggregates. We discuss the mechanism for these phenomena within an adapted version of the two-
