74. Strictly speaking, such a transition was observed in the study of Ref. 56. However, a collapse transition was observed only in the case where the "solvent" particle diameter was close to the radius of gyration of the polymer in the coil state. An entropy-driven transition was observed for a nonadditive-potential polymer-solvent model in Ref. 58.
