Abstract
We study the growth of droplets consisting mostly of solvent in a metastable semidilute polymer solution. We introduce a modified
Gibbs-Thomson relation at the interface which accounts for viscoelastic effects. The growth is much decelerated when the radius
is shorter than a long viscoelastic length.
