Preferred Label : θ state;
Detailed label : θ state in polymers;
IUPAC definition : The state of a polymer solution for which the second virial coefficient is zero.;
Scope note : it is assumed that the molar mass of the polymer is high.; the solvent involved is often referred to as ¿ solvent.; in some respects, a polymer solution in the ¿ state resembles an ideal solution and
the ¿ state may be referred to as a pseudo-ideal state. however, a solution in the
¿ state must not be identified with an ideal solution.;
