Kurzbeschreibung (Abstract)

We study dynamically highly asymmetric binary mixtures comprised of small methyl tetrahydrofuran (MTHF) molecules and polystyrene. Combined use of dielectric spectroscopy, H-2 nuclear magnetic resonance, incoherent quasielastic neutron scattering, and depolarized dynamic light scattering allows us to selectively probe the dynamics of the components in a broad dynamic range. It turns out that the mixtures exhibit two glass transitions in a wide concentration range although being fully miscible on a macroscopic scale. In between both glass transition temperatures, the dynamics of the small molecules show strong confinement effects, e. g., a crossover from Vogel-Fulcher to Arrhenius behavior of the time constants. Moreover, the dynamical behavior of small molecules close to the slow matrix is consistent with mode coupling theory predictions for a type-A glass transition, which was expected from recent theoretical and simulation studies in comparable systems.
