Abstract

This chapter reviews the static and the dynamic scattering properties of block copolymer and polymer mixtures in solution and in the melt. We focus particularly on the case of compatible and incompatible (i) diblock copolymers (A-B, linear coil-coil, linear rod-coil and cyclic coil-coil) and (ii) mixtures of two homopolymers (A and B). We survey experimental results obtained on the scattering behavior of these systems and describe theoretical models that have been used to interpret the data. We show, in the presence of a solvent, that using linear response theory and the Random Phase Approximation (RPA), two relaxation modes describe the autocorrelation functions measured using dynamic light scattering (DLS) and /or Neutron Spin Echo (NSE) techniques. The first mode characterizes the concentration fluctuations and the second one the composition fluctuations. Using theoretical models that have been developed to interpret the data, important parameters such as the collective motion, the interdiffusion, the single chain mobility (diffusion process) and the Flory interaction parameter (compatibility), which control the dynamics and the thermodynamics in homopolymer mixtures and diblock copolymer systems, can be deduced from elastic and quasi-elastic scattering experiments. We also discuss the scattering behavior of melt systems (mixtures of two homopolymers or diblock copolymers) and show that the melt limit can be recovered from the solution case where the dynamics are characterized by a single relaxation mode- the so-called interdiffusion process.
