要旨

Recent work on water-soluble block copolymers of ethylene oxide and 1,2-butylene oxide is described. Small-angle X-ray and neutron scattering have been used to probe the structures of aqueous micellar mesophases, with particular attention paid to the effects of steady and oscillatory shear. Effects of temperature and concentration are described, and the relationship of cubic structure (bcc or fcc) to diblock copolymer composition is explained in terms of the nature of the intermicellar potential. The rheology of the complex fluids (so-called soft gels) outside the structured-mesophase (hard gel) regions is discussed.

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics (PCCP) is an international journal co-owned by 19 physical chemistry and physics societies from around the world. This journal publishes original, cutting-edge research in physical chemistry, chemical physics and biophysical chemistry. To be suitable for publication in PCCP, articles must include significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry; this is the most important criterion that reviewers and Editors will judge against when evaluating submissions. The journal has a broad scope and welcomes contributions spanning experiment, theory, computation and data science. Topical coverage includes spectroscopy, dynamics, kinetics, statistical mechanics, thermodynamics, electrochemistry, catalysis, surface science, quantum mechanics, quantum computing and machine learning. Interdisciplinary research areas such as polymers and soft matter, materials, nanoscience, energy, surfaces/interfaces, and biophysical chemistry are welcomed if they demonstrate significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry. Joined experimental/theoretical studies are particularly appreciated when complementary and based on up-to-date approaches.
