Aqueous mixtures are characterized by a highly heterogeneous structure where water clusters coexist with an underlying nano-segregation of main chains and side groups of the polymeric matrix. THF molecules are homogeneously distributed among the polymeric nano-domains for concentrations of one THF molecule/monomer or lower. A more heterogeneous situation is found for higher THF amounts, but without evidences for solvent clusters. In THF-mixtures, we observe a remarkable reduction of the glass-transition temperature which is enhanced with increasing amount of solvent but seems to reach saturation at high THF concentrations. Adding THF markedly reduces the activation energy of the polymer β-relaxation. The presence of THF molecules seemingly hinders a slow component of this process which is active in the dry state. The aqueous mixtures present a strikingly broad glass-transition feature, revealing a highly heterogeneous behavior in agreement with the structural study. Regarding the solvent dynamics, deep in the glassy state all data can be described by an Arrhenius temperature dependence with a rather similar activation energy. However, the values of the characteristic times are about three orders of magnitude smaller for THF than for water. Water dynamics display a crossover toward increasingly higher apparent activation energies in the region of the onset of the glass transition, supporting its interpretation as a consequence of the freezing of the structural relaxation of the surrounding matrix. The absence of such a crossover (at least in the wide dynamic window here accessed) in THF is attributed to the lack of cooperativity effects in the relaxation of these molecules within the polymeric matrix. 000827713 536__ $$0G:(DE-HGF)POF3-6G15$$a6G15 - FRM II / MLZ (POF3-6G15)$$cPOF3-6G15$$fPOF III$$x0 000827713 536__ $$0G:(DE-HGF)POF3-6G4$$a6G4 - Jülich Centre for Neutron Research (JCNS) (POF3-623)$$cPOF3-623$$fPOF III$$x1 000827713 588__ $$aDataset connected to CrossRef 000827713 65027 $$0V:(DE-MLZ)SciArea-210$$2V:(DE-HGF)$$aSoft Condensed Matter$$x0 000827713 65017 $$0V:(DE-MLZ)GC-1602-2016$$2V:(DE-HGF)$$aPolymers, Soft Nano Particles and Proteins$$x0 000827713 693__ $$0EXP:(DE-MLZ)DNS-20140101$$1EXP:(DE-MLZ)FRMII-20140101$$5EXP:(DE-MLZ)DNS-20140101$$6EXP:(DE-MLZ)NL6S-20140101$$aForschungs-Neutronenquelle Heinz Maier-Leibnitz $$eDNS: Diffuse scattering neutron time of flight spectrometer$$fNL6S$$x0 000827713 7001_ $$0P:(DE-HGF)0$$aArbe, A.$$b1$$eCorresponding author 000827713 7001_ $$00000-0001-6125-8214$$aAlegría, A.$$b2 000827713 7001_ $$0P:(DE-Juel1)130991$$aSu, Y.$$b3$$ufzj 000827713 7001_ $$0P:(DE-HGF)0$$aGasser, U.$$b4 000827713 7001_ $$0P:(DE-HGF)0$$aColmenero, J.$$b5 000827713 773__ $$0PERI:(DE-600)1473050-9$$a10.1063/1.4946004$$gVol. 144, no. 15, p. 154903 -$$n15$$p154903 -$$tThe journal of chemical physics$$v144$$x1089-7690$$y2016 000827713 8564_ $$uhttps://juser.fz-juelich.de/record/827713/files/1.4946004.pdf$$yOpenAccess 000827713 8564_ $$uhttps://juser.fz-juelich.de/record/827713/files/1.4946004.gif?subformat=icon$$xicon$$yOpenAccess 000827713 8564_ $$uhttps://juser.fz-juelich.de/record/827713/files/1.4946004.jpg?subformat=icon-180$$xicon-180$$yOpenAccess 000827713 8564_ $$uhttps://juser.fz-juelich.de/record/827713/files/1.4946004.jpg?subformat=icon-700$$xicon-700$$yOpenAccess 000827713 909CO $$ooai:juser.fz-juelich.de:827713$$pdnbdelivery$$pVDB$$pVDB:MLZ$$pdriver$$popen_access$$popenaire 000827713 9101_ $$0I:(DE-588b)5008462-8$$6P:(DE-Juel1)130991$$aForschungszentrum Jülich$$b3$$kFZJ 000827713 9131_ $$0G:(DE-HGF)POF3-6G15$$1G:(DE-HGF)POF3-6G0$$2G:(DE-HGF)POF3-600$$3G:(DE-HGF)POF3$$4G:(DE-HGF)POF$$9G:(DE-HGF)POF3-6G15$$aDE-HGF$$bForschungsbereich Materie$$lGroßgeräte: Materie$$vFRM II / MLZ$$x0 000827713 9131_ $$0G:(DE-HGF)POF3-623$$1G:(DE-HGF)POF3-620$$2G:(DE-HGF)POF3-600$$3G:(DE-HGF)POF3$$4G:(DE-HGF)POF$$9G:(DE-HGF)POF3-6G4$$aDE-HGF$$bForschungsbereich Materie$$lVon Materie zu Materialien und Leben$$vFacility topic: Neutrons for Research on Condensed Matter$$x1 000827713 9141_ $$y2016 000827713 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)0200$$2StatID$$aDBCoverage$$bSCOPUS 000827713 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)0600$$2StatID$$aDBCoverage$$bEbsco Academic Search 000827713 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)0100$$2StatID$$aJCR$$bJ CHEM PHYS : 2015 000827713 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)0150$$2StatID$$aDBCoverage$$bWeb of Science Core Collection 000827713 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)0110$$2StatID$$aWoS$$bScience Citation Index 000827713 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)0111$$2StatID$$aWoS$$bScience Citation Index Expanded 000827713 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)9900$$2StatID$$aIF < 5 000827713 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)0510$$2StatID$$aOpenAccess 000827713 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)0030$$2StatID$$aPeer Review$$bASC 000827713 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)1150$$2StatID$$aDBCoverage$$bCurrent Contents - Physical, Chemical and Earth Sciences 000827713 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)0310$$2StatID$$aDBCoverage$$bNCBI Molecular Biology Database 000827713 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)0300$$2StatID$$aDBCoverage$$bMedline 000827713 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)0420$$2StatID$$aNationallizenz 000827713 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)0199$$2StatID$$aDBCoverage$$bThomson Reuters Master Journal List 000827713 920__ $$lyes 000827713 9201_ $$0I:(DE-Juel1)JCNS-FRM-II-20110218$$kJCNS (München) ; Jülich Centre for Neutron Science JCNS (München) ; JCNS-FRM-II$$lJCNS-FRM-II$$x0 000827713 9201_ $$0I:(DE-Juel1)JCNS-2-20110106$$kJCNS-2$$lStreumethoden$$x1 000827713 980__ $$ajournal 000827713 980__ $$aVDB 000827713 980__ $$aUNRESTRICTED 000827713 980__ $$aI:(DE-Juel1)JCNS-FRM-II-20110218 000827713 980__ $$aI:(DE-Juel1)JCNS-2-20110106 000827713 9801_ $$aFullTexts
