The early state of spinodal decomposition was studied by small angle neutron scattering in the critical mixture of the isotopic blend deutero‐polystyrene/polystyrene (d‐PS/PS) of equal molecular volume of 1.42×106 cm3/mol in a temperature range 12 K≤‖Tc−T‖≤82 K. This process can be described by the relaxation between two static structure factors, S(Q) representing the equilibrium values of the system in the mixed state and at the temperature where phase separation occurs. The time evolution of the relaxation process is described by the dynamical structure factor, L(Q,t) which depends on the dynamic properties of the mixture. It will be shown that the static structure factor of a mixed system can also be determined in the unstable two‐phase region during the early state of spinodal decomposition. Consistent values for the Flory–Huggins parameter were found in comparison with a lower molecular d‐PS/PS sample and, therefore, a lower critical temperature which was even smaller than the phase separation temper...
