The second case involves non-adsorbing polymer chains in solution. It was realized by Asakura aird Oosawa (AO) [50] aird separately by Vrij [51] tlrat tlrese chains will give rise to air effective attraction between colloidal particles. This is kirowir as depletion attraction (see figure C2.6.4. We will summarize tire AO tlreory to explain tlris.

More recently, two-state E/B models have been proposed by Chujo and Doi (9.10) for the analysis of polypropylene. Similar E/B models were proposed by Cheng(11) and Asakura, et al(12) for polybutylene. For copolymers, two-state B/B models have been proposed for ethylene-propylene copolymers,(11,13-15) and propylene-butylene copolymers.(11,13) Recently, Cheng(11) generalized these multi-state models and developed computer methodology for the general analysis of such systems. A number of polymer systems were treated.
