Abstract
We report on time resolved combined differential scanning calorimetry, small-angle and wide-angle x-ray scattering of hydrogen bonded flexib le polymer-surfactant systems. The results show the presence of an ord er-disorder transition from a homogeneous to a lamellar structure due to dynamic coupling between surfactant and polymer. The homogeneous st ate exhibits a distinct small-angle x-ray scattering peak due to chara cteristic comb copolymerlike fluctuations. The peak position is strong ly dependent on temperature and on the amount of surfactant material.
