摘要：

We have exploited the selectivity of neutron scattering combined with isotopic substitution to study the structure and dynamics of poly(n-alkyl methacrylates). Our diffraction data strongly support the suggested nanosegregation of main-chains and side groups. Moreover, we have been able to separately follow the dynamics of both subsystems at a molecular scale. While the structural relaxation observed at the main-chain level is standard, for high-order members the correlations involving side groups within the alkyl nanodomains relax through an exotic logarithmic decay. In these polymers, a strong dynamic asymmetry also develops. We discuss possible theoretical frameworks for the anomalous relaxation observed.
