Studies of structural arrest transition in L64/D2O micellar solutions

Abstract

A series of small angle neutron scattering (SANS) experiments on dense L64 copolymer micellar solutions in heavy water was described. The system was modeled as a suspension of micellar particles that interact among themselves with a hard core. The observed phase behavior in the plane of temperature and polymer concentration was discussed. Characteristic features such as the existence of the glass-to-liquid-to-glass re-entrance transition were also discussed. Show more
