Abstract
The mean held behaviour of a series of short poly(oxyethylene)-poly(oxybuty lene) diblock copolymers with 50/50 volume fraction is discussed. The mean held temperature (T-MF) is determined from small angle X-ray scattering (SA XS). It is found to increase linearly with r(V), the volume normalised degr ee of polymerisation.
