Phase Transitions in Soft Matter Induced by Selective Solvation
Akira Onuki, Ryuichi Okamoto, Takeaki Araki
We review our recent studies on selective solvation effects in phase separation in polar binary mixtures with a small amount of solutes. Such hydrophilic or hydrophobic particles a…

Solvation and Dissociation in Weakly Ionized Polyelectrolytes
Akira Onuki, Ryuichi Okamoto
We present a Ginzburg-Landau theory of inhomogeneous polyelectrolytes with a polar solvent. First, we take into account the molecular (solvation) interaction among the ions, the ch…
