Abstract
Polystyrene-block-poly(ethylene-co-propylene) solutions in decane have been investigated by dynamic and static light scattering. The dissolution of the diblock copolymer in a solvent, which is selective of aliphatic blocks, yields well-defined metastable micellar structures. These structures are converted into equilibrium micelles on heating and change into frozen micelles when cooled. A similar pattern is observed also in dioxane, which is a selective solvent for polystyrene blocks.Keywords
