Abstract
Left: The effective glass transition temperature of polystyrene (PS) in tricresyl phosphate (TCP) solutions measured by diverse techniques. The solid curve is the best fitting by the Fox equation with a self-concentration Ïselfâ¯=â¯0, while the dashed curve is the fitting using a Lodge-McLeish predicted self-concentration Ïselfâ¯=â¯0.27. Right: A cartoon illustrating that the space around a Kuhn segment is preferentially occupied by small molecule solvent rather than other polymers in polymer solutions. As a result, the interchain concentration Ïm is smaller than the global average concentration Ïave.210
