Ethylene oxide and 1,2-butylene oxide were sequentially polymerised to form the diblock copolymer E13B10 (E=oxyethylene, B=oxybutylene, subscripts denote number-average block lengths in repeat units). Dynamic and static light scattering over the temperature range 10-30 degrees C demonstrated a transition from
