Popis: The behavior of poly(2-ethyl 2-oxazoline) (PEOX) in water is expressed in terms of excess thermodynamic functions of dilution derived from osmometry and static light scattering. The low-temperature thermodynamics are shown to be consistent with the phase transition. The variety of measurements is consistent with the hypothesis that the system can experience partial organization at all temperatures, even well below the LCST, and that the origin of the organization is a specific hydrogen-bonded interaction between the carbonyl oxygen of PEOX and water
