Abstract: | Summary Model methylmethacrylate-styrene, linear di-block, copolymers were used to investigate the respective influnnces of temperature,
of molar mass and of chemical composition on their Soret coefficient, sT, by means of thermal field-flow fractionation (thermal FFF) in toluene and in THF. A recently developed thermal FFF retention
model, which takes into account the variation of the basic FFF parameter λ with temperature, is applied to investigate the
dependence of the Soret coefficient on temperature. It is found that the coefficient decreases approximately linearly with
increasing temperature. At constant chemical composition and temperature, sT exhibits a power law dependence on molar mass with an exponent é ? 0.55. At constant molar mass and temperature, sT decreases monotonously with increasing weight percent styrene in the copolymer composition. At 300 K, sT values are slightly larger in THF than in toluene.
