Determination of Polymer-Particle Flory-Huggins Interaction Parameters

Determination of Polymer-Particle Flory-Huggins Interaction Parameters 

Most of the above theories assumed that one knows the interaction parameter between particle and polymer, xap (here A, again, denotes a matrix homopolymer or a block in a block copolymer). However, this is not trivial. There are several ways of estimating this parameter, depending on the surface chemistry of the particle
