Summary
The spinodal decomposition was observed by the Pulse Induced Critical Scattering technique for the three branched polystyrenes in cyclohexane. Branched polystyrenes were prepared by γ-irradiation on linear polystyrene of narrow molar-mass distribution for various periods. The location of the spinodals was hardly affected with regard to temperature though the crosslinking has increased the molar mass by a factor 10.
