50. cγ + ̇ > 1, respectively. For a phase-separated critical mixture, there will be a relaxation time associated with thermal (zero-mean) fluctuations around an average, as in the one-phase region. There is also a characteristic relaxation time associated with the coarsening droplets themselves. Fluorescence microscopy studies of shear-induced mixing suggest that it is the latter that should be used in the reduced-variable description.

55. The scatter in the data is such that we do not attempt to resolve exact values of ν and A. Strictly speaking, the apparent critical exponents and amplitudes may be subject to a "Fisher Renormalization" upon dilution of a pure blend so that these quantities are not completely system independent. In eq 4, we use the approximate values 2ν ≈ 1, 1/3ν ≈ 1/2, and A ≈ 1/10.
