Abstract
The spinodal decomposition in a critical mixture of polydimethylsiloxane and diethyl carbonate was investigated by a time-resolved light-scattering technique focusing especially on the early and intermediate stages of phase separation. A second peak in addition to the main peak was found in the higher-scattering-angle region of the spectrum characteristic of the intermediate stage.Keywords
