Pulse Induced Critical Scattering from solutions of randomly crosslinked polystyrene in cyclohexane

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.
