Title Evidence of the microphase separation in Controlled Pore Glass

Abstract The phase separation of a mixture of water and isobutyric acid (iBA) confined in the pore space of Controlled Pore Glass (CPG) 10-75 has been studied by 1H NMR relaxometry and 1H-pulsed field gradient (PFG) diffusion measurements. For an acid-rich mixture (mass fraction 54 wt% iBA), evidence of a phase separation process in the pores was obtained, which occurs in a temperature window between 32 and 39 °C, as indicated in the PFG data by an anomalous temperature dependence of the diffusion coefficient and in the relaxation data by a bi-exponential magnetization decay. The phase separation temperature of the mixture in the pore is slightly lower than in the bulk mixture of the same composition (41 °C) and extends over a finite temperature range. A qualitative model of the phase separation process in the pores is developed, which assumes a temperature-dependent domain-like structure of the liquid below the phase transition temperature and a breakdown of these domains upon reaching the transition temperature.
