Modified Flory–Rehner Theory Describes Thermotropic Swelling Transition of Smart Copolymer Microgels

In the present article, we use an improved Flory–Rehner theory to describe the swelling behavior of copolymer microgels, where the interaction parameter is modeled by a Hill-like equation for a cooperative thermotropic transition. This description leads to very good fits of the swelling curves of th...
