Time-resolved SANS during a temperature jump in a polymer solution. (a) Modified stopped-flow instrument. (b) SANS curves from a 200 mg ml−1 solution of poly­styrene-block-poly(N-isopropyl­acryl­amide)-block-poly­styrene triblock copolymer with fully deuterated poly­styrene blocks in D2O, for a temperature jump from 303 to 308 K. Temperatures below the cloud point (305.7 K) are shown in blue and above in red. (c) Plot showing the radii of the micelles (black circles) and the aggregate size (green triangles) with time. The dashed line marks the cloud point. (d) Schematic diagram of polymer collapse and aggregate formation. Adapted from Adelsberger et al. (2013BB1).
