Non-Additive Ion Effects on the Coil-Globule Equilibrium of a Generic Polymer in Aqueous Salt Solutions
Kushagra Goel, Monika Choudhary, Swaminath Bharadwaj
Mixtures of weakly and strongly hydrated anions induce non-additive changes in the LCST of thermoresponsive polymers such as PNIPAM and PEO. Large-scale atomistic simulations of PN…

Kosmotropic effect leads to LCST decrease in thermoresponsive polymer solutions
Swaminath Bharadwaj, P. B. Sunil Kumar, Shigeyuki Komura +1
We study the phenomena of decrease in lower critical solution temperature (LCST) with addition of kosmotropic (order-making) cosolvents in thermoresponsive polymer solutions. A com…
