| Research Abstract |
A high-speed light scattering spectroscopy system which measures molecular motions appearing in the phase separation and/or the phase transition of block copolymers in solution was constructed, in which the molecular motions detectable are ranging from 10^<-8> to 10^3 second in the magnitude of the relaxation times. At the scattering angles rheta in the range of usual 30-150ﾟ and at rheta smaller than 10ﾟ, phase transitions on polystirene (PS)-block-poly (methyl mathacrylate) diblock copolymer of high molecular weight such as M^w=1.53*10^6 (38.5wt%PS) were investigated in selective mixed solvents of benzene (BZ) and p-cymene (PC) as a function of the mixed ratios and the temperature differences in the temperature jump. When measured at rheta=30-150ﾟ, the diblock copolymer were found to form a monodispersed micelle at the mixed ratio more than 60 vol% of PC and to be in apparent closed association equlibrium between the single copolymer (unimer) and the micelle. The micelle dynamics was

charcterized by its vast internal motions which occur inside the micelle. The intramicellar motions were attributed to active hydrodynamic heterocontacts between PS and PMMA subchain elements, or the composition fluctuation. At smaller angles as 5-10ﾟ, however, the scattering intensity of the solution fluctuated at the time interval as small as mus, the absolute intensity varing in three order of magnitude. Dynamic light scattering (DLS) from these solutions in quiescent state made clear that the intensity fluctuations were originated from structures whose sizes varing quickly in one to five order to magnitude ; the fuge micellar structures observed are considered not of be stable but transient ones, which are created and disappear in very short time intervals. DLS under Couette flow ascertained this picture with the result that only a single copolymer was observed in the shear field. The temperature difference of 20-80ﾟC induced no detectable conformation change in the present diblock copolymer chain. Less
