Abstract

Interactions between micelles of the three-block copolymer polystyrene-block-(hydrogenated polybutadiene)-block-polystyrene in selective solvent mixtures 1,4-dioxane/0-30 vol. % n-heptane were investigated by light scattering methods. Experimental values of the second virial coefficient, A 2, from the time-averaged light scattering data agree with theoretical values for the hard sphere model. The diffusion viral-coefficient values, k D, from quasielastic light scattering measurements agree within the limits of experimental error with the experimental k D value determined by Kops-Werkhoven and coworkers for spherical silica particles. Virtually monodisperse block-copolymer micelles appeared to be suitable for testing theoretical results obtained for hard sphere interactions.
