Résumé: By using quasielastic neutron scattering (QENS) with isotopic labeling we have investigated the component dynamics in a miscible blend of polyethersulfone (PES) and poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) with 75% content in weight of PES. Due to the large difference in the glass-transition temperatures, Tg's, of the two polymers (Tg_PEO=220 K, Tg_PES=382 K) the dynamic asymmetry in the system dramatically increases when approaching the average Tg of the blend, . For the fast (PEO) component, this leads to a behavior which hints a crossover from typical glass-forming liquidlike dynamics at high temperatures to confined dynamics close to induced by the freezing of the segmental motions of the slow PES. The features of the confined PEO motion observed by QENS are similar to those of the secondary gamma-relaxation detected for pure (semicrystalline) PEO. A neutron diffraction study of the short-range order of the homopolymers and the blend suggests that this coincidence could be due to similarities in the intermolecular packing of PEO and PES polymers.

Résumé: We have exploited the selectivity of neutron scattering combined with isotopic substitution to study the structure and dynamics of poly(n-alkyl methacrylates). Our diffraction data strongly support the suggested nanosegregation of main-chains and side groups. Moreover, we have been able to separately follow the dynamics of both subsystems at a molecular scale. While the structural relaxation observed at the main-chain level is standard, for high-order members the correlations involving side groups within the alkyl nanodomains relax through an exotic logarithmic decay. In these polymers, a strong dynamic asymmetry also develops. We discuss possible theoretical frameworks for the anomalous relaxation observed.
