(or be called monomer). Polymers in binary mixture solvent belong to the class of multicomponent
system and present a fundamental interest. They show peculiar properties
near the critical region. The critical point will shift to another point and critical exponents
also change to another value. The polymer structure and its location has different
change when the temperature decrease over the critical point gradually.
In chapter one, Introduction, the history of polymer development will be mentioned
and the briefly properties of binary mixture are also be mentioned.
In chapter two, Theoretical and Experimental Backgrounds, the mathematical
properties will be mentioned to realize some polymer physics. The critical phenomenon
is also an important background.
In chapter three, The Simulation Method, we will study how to simulate the
dynamical system in the computer and our system–binary mixture with linear polymers
– will also be introduced.
In chapter four, Result and Discussions, we will analyse our data and try to explain
the physical mechanism in the system.
