Kinetic effects on the phase behavior and microstructural transitions of a thermoresponsive polymer solution

Khushboo Suman, Pritha Acharya, Riya Karmakar

Pluronic F127 solutions show a multi-step cooling transition through metastable micellar states that fades with repeated cycles.

Claims

C1strongest claim

we observe a novel multi-step transition during the cooling phase, indicating a more complex reorganization pathway with intermediate metastable states than typically assumed for reversible micellization. Our findings indicate that the characteristic multi-step cooling transition is transient, gradually weakening with successive thermal cycles. We also present a comprehensive mathematical model which accurately captures the kinetics and multiple step transition in viscoelastic parameters.

C2weakest assumption

The multi-step cooling transition reflects intrinsic kinetic reorganization with metastable states rather than measurement artifacts from ramp rates or sample history; this assumption underpins both the novelty claim and the model's accuracy.

C3one line summary

Pluronic F127 shows a novel multi-step transition during cooling cycles that weakens over repeated cycles, captured by a mathematical model, with SAXS revealing evolution from disordered micelles to ordered lattices.
