Physical origin of the expansion of polymer coils in a binary solvent in the vicinity of its demixing critical point
Jan V. Sengers, Mikhail A. Anisimov, Xiong Zheng
Critical fluctuations are known to induce a collapse of polymer chains in a mixed solvent upon approaching its liquid-liquid critical point, as originally predicted by Brochard and…
Collective infrared excitation in rare-earth GdLaB hexaborides
E. S. Zhukova, B. P. Gorshunov, G. A. Komandin +8
Using Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy and optical ellipsometry, room temperature spectra of complex conductivity of single crystals of hexaborides GdLaB, $x…
Unusual transformation of polymer coils in a mixed solvent close to the critical point
Xiong Zheng, Mikhail A. Anisimov, Jan V. Sengers +1
We have discovered unusual behavior of polymer coils in a binary solvent (nitroethane+isooctane) near the critical temperature of demixing. The exceptionally close refractive indic…
