Abstract: | The approaching glass transition in polystyrene/toluene solutions leads to a sharp decay of both the collective diffusion coefficient D and the thermal diffusion coefficient D(T) at concentrations above 0.2 g/cm(3). The Soret coefficient S(T) = D(T)/D follows power-law scaling from semidilute to concentrated and is not influenced by the slowing down of the dynamics associated with the glass transition. Both D and D(T) are governed by the same friction coefficient. The scaling behavior of S(T) with concentration on approach of the glass transition is compared to the divergence of S(T) near a consolute critical point. |
