Abstract

A potential information on space and time resolved properties of polymeric systems may be obtained by employing dynamic light scattering. For undiluted polymers, the light is scattered by local thermal density fluctuations which are related to dynamic mechanical properties. For polymer mixtures, concentration fluctuations dominate the polarized Rayleigh spectrum which yields insight into the mutual diffusion of the polymer chains. Examples of application are given from recent studies of amorphous bulk poly(phenylmethylsiloxane), poly(styrene) and their compatible mixture as well.
