Photon Correlation Spectroscopy of Interactive Polymer Systems

  • Chapter
Light Scattering and Photon Correlation Spectroscopy

Part of the book series: NATO ASI Series ((ASHT,volume 40))

Abstract

We present two recent applications of dynamic light scattering to study order parameter fluctuations in chemically dissimilar polymer systems: (i) Diblock copolymer solutions near the disorder to order transition with wavevectors q~ q* at the maximum of the structure factor S(q*), (ii) Binary polymer blends near the macrophase separation temperature in the low q limit.
