Figure 2

Chemical potential shift Inline graphic per monomer as a function of cosolvent mole fraction xc. Inline graphic obtained from the generic model is compared with the data from the atomistic configuration of PNIPAm, which is taken from ref. 17. The master curve is obtained by normalizing the Inline graphic with a chain length Nl-dependent function f(Nl)=2Nl/(Nl+1) (see Supplementary Note 3).
