TL;DR: The effects of polymer concentrations in solution and PEO molecular weight as well as inorganic salt addition on these critical pH values were studied and the existence of the pH value above which the polymers form an immiscible blend was demonstrated.

TL;DR: It has been demonstrated that water-soluble copolymers based on 2-Hydroxyethyl methacrylate and 2-hydroxyethyl acrylate exhibit lower critical solution temperature in aqueous solutions, whereas the corresponding high molecular weight homopolymers do not have this unique property.

TL;DR: In this article, the effect of inorganic salts addition on the complex formation of poly(acrylic acid) with various non-ionic polymers such as poly(vinyl pyrrolidone), poly-acrylamide), poly(ethylene oxide), pol-vinyl methyl ether), poly (vinyl alcohol), poly-(N-isopropylacrylide) poly(2-hydroxyethyl vinyl ether), hydroxypropylcellulose and hydroxyethylcelluloses has been studied in aqueous solutions.

TL;DR: It was found that an increase in the content of hydrophobic groups in copolymers leads to more efficient adsorption of macromolecules on the surface of mucin particles, which evidences the importance ofhydrophobic effects in mucoadhesion.

TL;DR: These thiolated nanoparticles showed excellent colloidal stability in dilute aqueous dispersions but underwent further self-assembly into chains and necklaces at higher concentrations, resulting in a loss of their mucoadhesive properties.
