Phase behaviour of mixtures of colloidal spheres and excluded-volume polymer chains
We study the phase behaviour of mixtures of colloidal spheres and polymers that have an excluded-volume interaction dispersed in a (background) solvent using the concept of free volume theory. The depletion layer thickness is calculated from the negative adsorption of polymer segments around a spher...
