This new phase transition implies a strong enhancement of the scattered light intensity in the critical region, which can explain a recent experiment showing strong light scattering from a ternary polymer system consisting of polyethylene oxide (PEO) dissolved in nitroethane and 3methyl-pentane.Latex with 1 eps figure, revised version, submitted to Phys.Rev.LettSoft Condensed MatterNew Phase Transition in Polymer Solutions with Multicomponent Solventtext
