abstract = {We present a study on the structure and dynamics of
poly(ethyl methacrylate) (PEMA), one of the polymers with
shortest side-group in the poly(n-alkyl methacrylate)s
(PnMAs) series. The contributions to the structure factor
have been unveiled by combining T-dependent X-ray and
neutron diffraction with polarization analysis on samples
with different deuteration labelings, accessing thereby
different partial structure factors of PEMA. We find clear
hints for strong structural ordering with anticorrelated
side-groups and main-chain locations, fitting thus in the
general scenario of nanosegregation of main chains and side
groups found in higher order PnMAs members. Backscattering
measurements on a PEMA sample with deuterated side-group
have revealed the dynamics of main-chain and alpha-methyl
group hydrogens. The characterization of the rotations of
the latter indicates highly disordered environments in the
glassy state. Above the glass transition, the incoherent
scattering function related to segmental relaxation shows
stretching and clear deviations from Gaussian behavior in
the accessed window. We also present results on the dynamic
structure factor (collective dynamics) at the peaks
characteristic (i) for the intermain-chain and
interside-group-domain correlations and (ii) for the
side-group/side-group atomic correlations within the
domains. Viscosity dictates the temperature dependence in
both cases, and also that of the dielectric spectroscopy
results at high temperatures. However, the a-process
followed by dielectric relaxation deviates from the
rheological behavior when approaching the calorimetric
glass-transition, indicating a strong influence of the
faster side-group motions on the dynamics of the dielectric
probes.},
