Mixing POEGMA precursor polymers with different LCSTs leads to linear changes in macroscopic gel properties (e.g. mechanics, swelling) but non-linear changes in properties dependent on gel microstructure (e.g. protein adsorption, cell adhesion).

ABSTRACTPoly(CMPV-co-PV) have been synthesized via water soluble sulfonium salt precursor route and their linear and non-linear optical properties were characterized. The electro-optic response was stable up to 100°C when the materials were poled during the elimination. The thermal stability and mechanical strength of PPV and its derivatives, and easy processibility from the precursor polymers suggest a new approach for the molecular design of the 2nd order non-linear optical polymers.

We consider a family of multi-phase Stefan problems for a certain one-dimensional model of cell-to-cell adhesion and diffusion, which takes the form of a non-linear forward–backward parabolic equation. In each material phase the cell density stays either high or low, and phases are connected by jumps across an ‘unstable’ interval. We develop an existence theory for such problems which allows for the annihilation of phases and the subsequent continuation of solutions. Stability results for the long-time behaviour of solutions are also obtained, and, where necessary, the analysis is complemented by numerical simulations.
