The hydrodynamic properties of the system poly α-methyl styrene-cyclohexane☆
TLDR
In this paper, the theta temperature for the system poly α-methyl styrene-cyclohexane has been determined as 37° ± 0.5°C, which indicates that the Kurata-Yamakawa theory is valid in the vicinity of the temperature, but that in nonideal solvents the polymer is best represented by either the Peterlin or Ptitsyn-Eizner coil models.About:

A Phenomenological One-Parameter Equation of State for Osmotic Pressures of PEG and Other Neutral Flexible Polymers in Good Solvents†
TL;DR: The fact that the anomalous system PEG/water and the canonical system PAMS/toluene can both be described by the same equation of state attests to the robustness of the polymer-scaling concepts introduced by de Gennes.

Structure/chain-flexibility relationships of polymers
TL;DR: In this article, the relationship between polymer conformational characteristics and their variation with temperature, and polymer structure is reviewed and critically discussed, focusing on structure/conformation relationships for structurally well-defined polymethacrylates, polydienes, and polyolefins.

Glass transition and chain flexibility of linear polymers
TL;DR: In this paper, the dependence of the glass transition temperature, Tg, on polymer chain flexibility predicted by the Gibbs-DiMarzio theory was empirically tested by studying the relationship between Tg and the stiffness parameter for isolated chains.

Application of the Methods of Molecular Distribution to Solutions of Large Molecules
TL;DR: In this article, the thermodynamic potentials of the solvent in solutions of ordinary organic molecules are extended to solutions of large molecules by methods using continuous molecular distribution functions, and a general expression is developed for A2 for flexible chain molecules in terms of the interactions of the segments of the chains.
