Abstract: The molecular diffusion coefficients of styrene-divinylbenzene ultrafine particles were measured by photon correlation spectroscopy in good (toluene) and θ(cyclohexane) solvents at various temperatures.The hydrodynamic radius and activation energy for diffusion were calculated.The experimental results show that the molecular morphology of St-DVB ultrafine particles changes hardly because of its crosslinking structure.In θsolvent,when T<θ, the particles aggregated and behaved as macromolecular cooperative diffusion; when T>θ, the diffusion coefficient was deviated from the linear relationship between Dand Cin high concentrations.The functions of hydrodynamics and thermodynamics controlled the diffusion behavior of the ultrafine particles.
