The results of TRLS displayed clearly that the phase separation took place according to a spinodal decomposition (SD) mechanism and the evolution of both scattering vector qm and the maximum scattering intensity Im followed Maxwell-type relaxation equation.
In parts of the image, the beam spreads will lead to a maximum scattering intensity at values for r that are different from r mean.
For the x ϕ, y x ¯ configuration, there is a weakly preferential value of ϕ giving a maximum scattering intensity (maximum intensity is around 75° and minimum intensity is around 340°).
In this case, the maximum scattering intensity is more pronounced than for the short homopolymer.
The PMC, i.e., the mixing ratio at which the polymeric micelles (GICs) are formed [ 17] can be determined from the maximum scattering intensity.
As a result, the maximum scattering intensity corresponding to the highest number of assemblies is obtained if the grafted copolymer in the aggregate is in excess.
The isoelectric point corresponds to the maximum in the scattering intensity (PMC); however, for assemblies with the short homopolymer, GIC-PAPEO22/P2MVPI43, the maximum scattering intensity corresponds to a composition at which particles carry an excess of negative charge.
The PMC, i.e., the mixing ratio at which the maximum number of micelles (C3Ms) are formed [ 9] can be determined from the position of the maximum scattering intensity (if the size of the micelles does not vary or only weakly varies with f-).
The time-evolution of the magnitude of scattering vector qm t,P) at maximum scattered intensity and the maximum scattered intensity Im t,P) were analyzed in order to characterize the coarsening processes of the later-stage SD, where t refers to time after the onset of pressure-jump.
After the compression, the scattering vector at the maximum scattered intensity in a direction perpendicular to the compression axis qm was found to decrease abruptly nearly in accord with affine deformation.
