Abstract: A detailed rheological investigation of a lower critical solution temperature (LCST) blend of deuterated polystyrene-38K/PVME-23K near the critical region is presented. The phase behavior of the blend in the transitional regime was studied by the viscoelastic response of the system during dynamic temperature sweep experiments.
