The swelling ratio X and modulus G of networks A and B vary continuously with temperature, but in networks C-H (xMNa 0.0095) a phase transition takes place, and the dependence of X and G on T is discontinuous (Fig. 10). With increasing charge concentration on the chain, both the extent of the transition A and the critical temperature of phase transition (hence also yc) increase (similar changes as in Fig. 5 and 7). 

C, D, E and F with mole fractions of the salt I, xj = 0,0.01,0.03,0.047,0.09 and 0.165. While for networks A and B, the dependence of the X and G on a is continuous, the C-F networks with x, > 0.03 undergo phase transition. It is evident that the extent of the collapse and the critical acetone concentration (hence yc) in the mixture at which collapse takes place increase with the salt concentration. Thus, the occurrence of phase transition is independent of the charge polarity, but in order to bring about the collapse one has to use an approximately five times higher concentration of salt I compared with MNa.

Remark 4 From the HEN structures shown in Figure 8.32, it becomes apparent that the simplified HEN superstructure of Yee et al. (1990a) cannot identify the optimal solution of the illustrative example of section 8.4.1.1 which requires non-isothermal mixing with a by-pass, and it canno/t determine the optimal structure of the illustrative example of the HEN synthesis approach without decomposition of Ciric and Floudas (1991) since it involves the features of networks (a) and (c) o/f Figure 8.32.

In this constitutive framework, the total deformation gradient F is decomposed into viscoplastic and viscoelastic components F = F F. The viscoelastic deformation gradient acts on both the equilibrium network A, and on the time-dependent network F = F = F. The Cauchy stress acting on network A is given by the eight-chain representa-... 

The volumetric response is governed by the bulk modulus K, which is taken to be the same for both networks A and B. The temperature dependence of the shear modulus (0) is captured using the same temperature dependence as was used for /. Using this framework, the total stress in the system is given...
