Optical and rheological studies on weak gel-sol transition in aqueous solutions of poly(N-isopropylacrylamide)-block-polystyrene

The optical and rheological properties of aqueous solutions of block copolymer composed of low molecular weight poly(N-isopropylacrylamide)-b-polystyrene are studied as a function of temperature. From light scattering measurements the block copolymer solution is found to form micelles at very low co...
