Abstract

Micellar solutions of polystyrene-poly(acrylic acid) block copolymers are studied in the jammed regime. Increasing attraction between soft spheres, both the rheology and dynamic light scattering show a re-entrant liquid to glass transition. The dynamics was also investigated at an attraction strength above the re-entrant transition line. Increasing concentration of sticky soft spheres in this region, the particle dynamics shows a remarkable extended logarithmic decay. The theoretical predictions of mode coupling theory agree well with our results.
