7 CLUSTERING DUE TO HYDROPHOBIC STICKING

8 COMMENTS -- Clustering in macromolecular media can be caused by “unhappy” hydrophobic groups sticking to other hydrophobic groups. -- The PEO monomer is modeled as an alternating copolymer of ethylene and oxygen groups. -- The ethylene/d-water and oxygen/d-water interactions characterize LCST phase behavior (phase separation upon heating), while the ethylene/oxygen interactions characterize a UCST phase behavior (phase separation upon cooling).
