The Flory χ parameter is typically assumed to depend only on the temperature, T. Experimental results often require the replacement of this χ(T) by χeff, which depends also on the monomer volume fraction, φ, χeff(φ,T). Such χeff(φ,T) can arise from two-state models, proposed for polyetheleneoxide (PEO) and […]
