Abstract
A deviation from mean‐field behavior is observed in the static susceptibility and correlation length measured with small angle neutron scattering as a function of temperature near the phase boundary of a relatively low molecular weight critical polymer mixture. The possibility of a fluctuation influenced crossover from mean‐field to nonmean‐field behavior is considered.Keywords
