Modeling lower critical solution temperature behavior of associating polymer brushes with classical density functional theory.
We study the lower critical solution temperature (LCST) behavior of associating polymer brushes (i.e., poly(N-isopropylacrylamide)) using classical density functional theory. Without using any empirical or temperature-dependent parameters, we find the phase transition of polymer brushes from extended to collapsed structure with increasing temperature, indicating the LCST behavior of polymer bru...

متن کاملCation-Induced Hydration Effects Cause Lower Critical Solution Temperature Behavior in Protein Solutions.
The phase behavior of protein solutions is important for numerous phenomena in biology and soft matter. We report a lower critical solution temperature (LCST) phase behavior of aqueous solutions of a globular protein induced by multivalent metal ions around physiological temperatures. The LCST behavior manifests itself via a liquid-liquid phase separation of the protein-salt solution upon heati...
متن کاملSingle molecule tracking studies of lower critical solution temperature transition behavior in poly(N-isopropylacrylamide).
Spatial and temporal heterogeneities in expanded and collapsed surface bound poly(N-isopropylacrylamide), pNIPAAm, films are studied by single molecule tracking (SMT) experiments. Tracking data are analyzed using both radius of gyration (R(g)) evolution and confinement level calculations to elucidate the range of behaviors displayed by single Rhodamine6G (R6G) molecules. Confined diffusion that...
متن کاملA novel QSPR model for predicting θ (lower critical solution temperature) in polymer solutions using molecular descriptors.
In this study, we present a new model that has been developed for the prediction of θ (lower critical solution temperature) using a database of 169 data points that include 12 polymers and 67 solvents. For the characterization of polymer and solvent molecules, a number of molecular descriptors (topological, physicochemical,steric and electronic) were examined. The best subset of descriptors was...
