| Abstract: | Dynamic light scattering from diblock copolymers in melt and solution in a non-selective solvent reveals different mechanisms for relaxing the composition and orientation fluctuations near the order to disorder transition (ODT). For the former, internal relaxation and copolymer chain diffusion are the main relaxation processes whereas the latter relate to collective orientation of the copolymer chains near the ODT and induced form anisotropy of coherently ordered microstructures below ODT. |
