Abstract

Abstract:

The kinetics of surface phase separation in PMMA/SAN[poly(methyl methacrylate)/poly(styrene-ran-acrylonitrile)] blend film with off-critical component has been investigated by means of in situ AFM(atomic force microscopy). Our results indicate that the surface phase separation observed exists three stages. The exponent of zero in the first stage validate the Cahn theory; In the second one, the phase behaviors are mainly controlled by Brownian-Diffusion, corresponding to the exponent of 1/3. The hydrokinetics in the last stage results in the occurrence of 2/3 as the characteristic exponent. Our results are significant for not only the understanding of phase separation of polymer blend, but also the engineering and application of polymer films.

Key words: polymer blend, phase separation, kinetics, in situ, atomic force microscopy
