N2 - Small-angle neutron-scattering data, obtained from a near-symmetric isotropic diblock copolymer, demonstrate non-mean-field behavior over a wide temperature range (? 57°C) above the weakly first-order microphase- separation transition. These results are quantitatively explained by a fluctuation theory based on the Hartree approximation employed by Brazovskii to describe such phase transitions.
