## Abstract Microphase separation in solutions of weakly charged polyelectrolytes in poor solvents is studied in the weak segregation limit within the framework of the mean field approximation using a method first developed by Leibler. As a result a complete phase diagram of the solution near the c

We report some recent results obtained in our laboratory on the poor-solvent behavior of macromolecules. We first discuss the globular collapse of short chains that, unlike long ones, may form compact ordered states. We then address the collapse of random AB copolymers, which may provide significant
## Abstract Mixtures of high molecular weight polystyrene (__P__~n~ = 961.5; __T__~g~ = 373 K) and __secβ__butylβterminated oligostyrene (__P__~n~ = 10.6; __T__~g~ = 302 K) show a dependence of the glass transition on the composition (i.e. numberβaverage molecular weight) which cannot be described
The thermodynamically stable states of denatured protein in solution are investigated. These states are distinguished from the native state by the absence of tight packing of side chains while the compactness of denatured protein may vary within a wide region. The following regimes are outlined: 1.
