摘要
The cooperative diffusion coefficient Dc for concentration fluctuations is studied as a function of polymer concentration during the thermal polymerization of styrene using photon correlation spectroscopy. Measurements were carried out from the semidilute region to approximately 90% polymer. From 2-10%, polymer Dcrose linearly with concentration. The value of Dceventually reached a plateau with a value of 4.5 × 10-6cm2/s which corresponds to a minimum dynamic screening length between 10 and 15. At higher polymer concentrations, the local viscosity increases sharply, and the value of Dcfalls accordingly. © 1979, American Chemical Society. All rights reserved.
