Abstract
A correct description of phase behaviour in polymer solutionsrequires a coupling between configurational statistics andthermodynamics. The effect of flow-induced chain deformation on the polymer-solvent interaction energy depends on the concentrationand on the polymer architecture. It will be demonstrated, using thermodynamic arguments, that for linearpolymers this may give rise to a large flow-induced demixing. For more complex architectures such as
