Theoretical models of the conformational behavior of flexible polymer chains in mixed solvents enunciated in the world literature during the last decade are critically reviewed. Models describing different mechanisms of coil-to-globule transitions in a good solvent induced by cosolvent addition are highlighted. Special attention is given to the analysis of theoretical approaches to describing the collapse of polymer chains in binary mixtures of good solvents. The review addresses researchers engaged in polymer physics and chemistry and materials scientists involved in the design of smart polymers.

混合溶剂中聚合物构象行为的模型

过去十年间，对世界文献中阐明的混合溶剂中柔性聚合物链的构象行为的理论模型进行了严格审查。重点介绍了描述在良溶剂中由助溶剂添加引起的线圈到球状转变的不同机理的模型。特别注意对描述良好溶剂的二元混合物中聚合物链崩溃的理论方法的分析。该评论针对从事聚合物物理与化学的研究人员以及参与智能聚合物设计的材料科学家。
