Effect of distribution of stickers along the backbone on structuralproperties in associating polymer solutions is studied using self-consistentfield lattice model. Only two inhomogeneous morphologies, i.e.,microfluctuation homogenous (MFH) and micelle morphologies, are observed. Ifthe system is cooled, the solvent content within the aggregates decreases. Whenthe spacing of stickers along the backbone is increased thetemperature-dependent range of aggregation in MFH morphology and half-width ofspecific heat peak for homogenous solutions-MFH transition increase, and thesymmetry of the peak decreases. However, with increasing spacing of stickers,the above three corresponding quantities related to micelles behavedifferently. It is demonstrated that the broad nature of the observedtransitions can be ascribed to the structural changes which accompany thereplacement of solvents in aggregates by polymer, which is consistent with theexperimental conclusion. It is found that different effect of spacing ofstickers on the two transitions can be interpreted in terms of intrachain andinterchain associations.
