About this document

Concentrated Polymer Solutions Overview by Gerald Lim is a document available to read on EtoBox.

There are three key points summarized: 1. Concentrated polymer solutions exist in three regimes - dilute, semidilute, and concentrated - depending on the polymer volume fraction. In the semidilute regime, coils are overlapping but excluded volume interactions are screened at high concentrations. 2. The Flory-Huggins theory describes phase separation in poor polymer solvents using a lattice model and accounting for entropy and energy terms. Above a critical value of the Flory parameter χ, macrophase separ
