Abstract
The microphase separation transition (MST) in block copolymer melts has been studied using synchrotron SAXS. The results indicate that the MST occurs in the range of molecular weights and Flory‐Huggins interaction parameters x predicted by the theory of Leibler (Ref. 5). Studies of the MST as a function of molecular weight for constant composition can be used to determine the temperature dependence of x. The observed change of macrolattice constants with temperature is somewhat different from theoretically predicted values.Funding Information
