We investigated the pressure effect of three inert gases (nitrogen, helium and argon) on the phase behavior of polystyrene-block-poly(n-pentylmethacrylate) copolymer (PS-b-PnPMA) showing closed-loop phase behavior and baroplasticity. Helium gas pressure enhanced the miscibility between PS and PnPMA blocks similar to the hydrostatic pressure. Thus, the closed-loop size decreased with increasing helium gas pressure. Very interestingly, with increasing nitrogen and argon gas pressure, the miscibility between the two blocks decreased even though these two are also considered as inert gases. |
