Second generation ACOMP

FIGURE 13.16 Second generation ACOMP used to determine how much composition of anionic SS a copolymer with NIPAM can have and still exhibit an LCST (at lOmM ionic strength) fractional conversion of SS and total comonomers and average instantaneous SS composition (top). LS at 90° (log scale) for three detectors at different temperatures increases abruptly at the LCST when there is only about 4% SS in the copolymer (bottom).
