Polymer-solvent miscibility refers to the ability of a polymer to dissolve in a solvent, which is fundamentally determined by the balance between the polymer-polymer, solvent-solvent, and polymer-solvent interactions. This balance is crucial for applications ranging from material synthesis to drug delivery, as it affects the physical properties and performance of the resulting solution or mixture.
