The physical chemistry of liquid-liquid phase separation (LLPS) of polymer solutions bears
directly on the assembly of biologically functional dropletlike bodies from proteins and …

Using a recently developed renormalized Gaussian fluctuation (RGF) field theory that self-
consistently accounts for the concentration-dependent coupling between chain structure and …

Liquid–liquid phase separation occurs in young mammalian eye lenses and in concentrated
solutions of isolated eye lens proteins, and has been linked to some forms of cataract. Here …

Phase separation of alkali halide (MX)(M= Li+, Na+, and K+ and X= Cl–and Br–)–acetonitrile
(AN)–water mixtures by cooling has been investigated at the molecular level. The phase …

Liquid-liquid phase separation (LLPS) involving intrinsically disordered protein regions
(IDRs) is a major physical basis for biomolecular condensates such as intracellular …

Using a field-theoretic approach, we derive the first few coefficients of the exact low-density
(“virial”) expansion of a binary mixture of positively and negatively charged hard spheres …

We investigate the liquid-vapor interface of the restricted primitive model for an ionic fluid
using a density functional approach. The applied theory includes the electrostatic …

In order to shed some light on the peculiar liquid–vapor phase transition of ammonium
chloride (NH 4 Cl), we make use of a recently developed model potential (see paper I) …

This thesis consists of the investigation of two different problems involving phase transitions
using grand canonical Monte Carlo simulations. The first problem sought to understand the …
