## Abstract Conformational dynamics of triblock copolymers endβadsorbed onto a surface from a nonselective solvent have been studied by a Monte Carlo lattice simulation technique. The triblock copolymers are A B A with __N__~__A__~ = 10 and __N__~__B__~ = 5, 10, 20 and 40, at surface interaction pa

β¦ Synopsis
Air,watt--Intrinsic viscosity vs. composition curves of block copolymers of polyisoprene and polystyrene in a mixed solvent (cyclohexane q-n-heptane) show a transition at a critical composition (Yc) provided the temperature of the system is above a conformational transition temperature (T)) found previously in [7] vs. Tplots in the single solvent cyclohexane. The plots of [1] vs. y at temperature below T) show no such discontinuity. It is proposed that ~,Β’ represents the composition of the mixed solvent for which T, is the same as the experimental temperature or a solvent of composition yΒ’ would show a conforrnational transition Tp = T where T is the temperature of the system.
