ABSTRACT Solutions of polystyrene (_Mw_=1.0×107) in 2-butanone (ethyl methyl ketone), in a concentration range 0.1 mg cc−1 to 10 mg cc−1, were studied using Quasi-Elastic Light Scattering.
The relation of diffusion-like fluctuations in highly concentrated polymer solutions (cooperative diffusion) to the internal motion of single polymers was explored. We observed that when the
concentration of a solution was brought from a dilute region to a highly concentrated region, the Rayleigh line spectrum clearly showed that the internal motion had changed from
intramolecular motion within a single polymer to cooperative diffusion. We also analyzed the relaxation time of the lowest mode of the internal motion of single polymers in terms of the bead
and spring model. SIMILAR CONTENT BEING VIEWED BY OTHERS EXPERIMENTAL QUANTITATION OF MOLECULAR CONDITIONS RESPONSIBLE FOR FLOW-INDUCED POLYMER MECHANOCHEMISTRY Article 10 July 2023 FICKIAN
