Abstract
The static and dynamic critical properties of a nonionic amphiphile aqueous solution showing a lower consolution point are investigated by laser-light scattering. The osmotic isothermal compressibility and the correlation length of the concentration fluctuations diverge with mean-field-theory critical exponents. The behavior of the mass diffusion constant in the hydrodynamic region is in good agreement with the predictions of the mode-mode-coupling theory.Keywords
