Thin films of the thermoresponsive diblock copolymer PMMA-b-PNIPMAM exhibit a co-nonsolvency induced collapse transition when organic cosolvents, like acetone or methanol, are introduced in a certain ratio into the surrounding vapor atmosphere. The macroscopic changes during the swelling in aqueous vapor and the collapse transition in cosolvent vapor mixtures are investigated with spectral reflectance (SR) and time-of-flight neutron reflectometry (ToF-NR) measurements. We reveal the solvent/cosolvent exchange taking place at the polymer functional groups with in situ Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and attribute key changes in the local chemical environment to the macroscopic film collapse stages.
