摘要: The phase separation mechanism in semidilute aqueous poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAM) solutions is investigated with small-angle neutron scattering (SANS). nature of the transition probed static SANS measurements and time-dependent after a temperature jump. observed critical exponents describing dependence Ornstein–Zernike amplitude correlation length are smaller than values from mean-field theory. Time-dependent show that specific surface decreases increasing time jump above transition. Thus, formation additional hydrogen bonds collapsed state kinetic effect: A certain fraction water remains as bound system. Moreover, H–D exchange reactions PNIPAM have to be taken into account.
