Abstract
Early state of spinodal decomposition in a symmetric isotrope mixture d-PS/PS has been studied with SANS at two temperatures well below Tc. Nonexponential time behaviour was found according to internal relaxation modes of the polymer. The data could satisfactorily be described by an ansatz from Akcasu which includes internal relaxation modes approximately and is an extension of the Cahn-Hilliard-Cook theory for polymer blends. The interaction range for the Onsager coefficient was found increasing with time and larger than the radius of gyration
