%hyphenation on linebreaks fails in some cases. Not necessary my fault, see https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/171084/why-does-usepackagebritishbabel-hyphenate-the-word-alternate-incorrectly
%fixing this by manually defining the hyphenation of words I notice in the (close to) final verison

%to break a line without a hyphen (e.g. for ``pNIPAM/\allowbreak water/\allowbreak ethanol mixture''), use \allowbreak. see https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/26174/allow-line-break-but-without-inserting-a-dash
