STAR POLYMERS: FROM CONFORMATIONS TO INTERACTIONS TO PHASE DIAGRAMS

We review recent progress achieved in the theoretical description of the interactions, correlations, and phase behavior of concentrated solutions of star polymers, sterically stabilized colloids, and micelles. We show that the theoretical prediction of an ultrasoft, logarithmically diverging effecti...
