Polymer dynamics within microemulsion droplets
Microemulsions, especially in the spherical phase, are a perfect system for the investigation of soft and hard confinement. The investigation of both simple liquids and polymer solutions in these confinements has so far been limited to the study of freezing behaviour or diffusional properties of the droplets. Using an appropriate deuteration scheme, neutron spin echo spectroscopy will now allow us to study the segmental dynamics of a confined polymer and to compare it to the polymer properties in solution. Together with our previous experiments on the surfactant dynamics of polymer loaded microemulsion droplets, we will obtain knowledge of the entire dynamics of this complex system: The diffusion of the droplet and the surfactant shell fluctuations are already investigated by us. Diffusional as well as segmental dynamics of the polymer within the droplets are the aim of this proposal.
