Tm. Birshtein et Yv. Lyatskaya, POLYMER BRUSH IN MIXED-SOLVENT - THE ROLE OF FLORY INTERACTION PARAMETER CHI(AB) OF THE SOLVENT COMPONENTS, Macromolecular symposia, 81, 1994, pp. 249-252
The properties of polymer brush in binary solvent are considered on th
e base of the mean-field theory. The role of the interaction 'paramete
r chi(AB) of the two components on the brush parameters was specially
considered. The mixture of two precipitants was shown to be a good sol
vent for the polymer brush provided that their interaction parameter c
hi(AB) is sufficiently great.
