However, according to the reported LCST behavior, hydration decreased as can be observed by the amount of H-bonds formed between water molecules and polymer repeat units over time (Figure ). This phenomenon has been observed in other simulation studies with LCST type polymers as well, describing a reduction in "hydrophobic hydration". Upon cooling down to 300 K towards the end of the simulations, solvation quickly increases, more readily for the A blocks than the B blocks, but not quite to the same level as before the temperature increase (compare Figure /B and C/D).
