The meander model of condensed polymers

Short-Range Order in a Miscible Polymer Blend

“…Conceivable alignments of dissimilar chains should be parallel to each other and the chains would be locally stretched (compared with random coil chains). It reminds us of the classic meander model by Pechhold et al 4 as an extreme case. Anyhow, one may expect some ordering in chain packing in the miscible polymerpolymer mixture.…”

Thermodynamics of the dissolution temperatures of copolymer-systems

“…Each information concerning the molecular statistical structure of macromolecular fluids is of actual interest because of the current discussions on different models (1). We want to contribute to this discussion from a special point of view: In this paper we present measurements of the "maximum melting temperatures" of copolymer-solvent mixtures covering the total concentration range.…”

Dilatometric measurements on some polymers: The pressure dependence of thermal properties

“…Besides the intention to get more data than available in literature, we had special interest in this work. We want to check the theory of Blasenbrey and Pechhold (1,2,3) which tries to describe phase transitions and properties of the melt by a cooperative statistical treatment based on molecular calculations. These theoretical aspects will be treated elsewhere, this paper will be restricted to experimental results.…”
