Polymers with upper critical solution temperature behavior in alcohol/water solvent mixtures

Thermoresponsive polymers are of great importance in numerous nanotechnological and biomedical applications. Compared to polymers that undergo a lower critical solution temperature (LCST) phase transition in aqueous solution, i.e., demixing occurs upon heating, polymers exhibiting the reversed upper...
