Abstract: The surface properties of the segmented ternary copolymers [PSF-PDMS-PHS]n have been investigated by XPS, DMA, TEM and SEM techniques, where PSF:polysulfone, PDMS: polydimethylsiloxane, PHS: poly-p-hydroxystyrene.It is shown thatfor all copolymers of different composition PDMS soft segments were enriched on the surfaceand the enrichment increased with the increase of the content of PDMS of the copolymer, butdecreased with the solubility parameter of the solvents tested.Treating with H2O gave high-er enrichment of PDMS than that of the blank.

Key words: polysulfone, polydimethylsiloxane, polyhydroxystyrene, segmented ternary copolymer, surface enrichment, solvent treatment
