The excess partial molar enthalpies of isobutyric acid (IBA), HmE(IBA), and those of H2O, HmE(H2O), were measured in aqueous solutions of IBA. The temperature dependence of HmE(IBA) at the infinite dilution suggested that the structure enhancement of the solvent H2O by IBA is weaker than those by tert-butanol (TBA) or 2-butoxyethanol (BE). The concentration dependence of HmE(IBA), and that of the enthalpic IBA–IBA interaction, N{∂HmE(IBA)/∂nB}, shows that there are two distinct mixing schemes bounded at about xB = 0.03, before reaching the two phase separation. Namely, the IBA–IBA interaction is repulsive below this boundary, while above this boundary it becomes attractive leading eventually to phase separation at a higher concentration. The transition between the two schemes is associated with a peak(negative) anomally in the fourth derivative of the free energy, N2 {∂2HmE(IBA)/∂nB2}.Key words: excess partial molar enthalpies, isobutyric acid – water, transition in mixing scheme.

A time-resolved small-angle light scattering apparatus equipped with azimuthal integration by means of a conical lens or software analysis of scattering patterns detected with a CCD camera was developed. Averaging allows a significant reduction of the signal-to-noise ratio of scattered light and makes this technique suitable for investigation of phase separation kinetics. Examples of applications to time evolution of phase separation in concentrated statistical copolymer solutions and dissolution of phase-separated domains in polymer blends are given.
