Time–temperature superposition of phase separating polymer blend films
We have examined the structure formations in symmetric blend films of polystyrene and poly(methyl methacrylate) during phase separation and coalescence in the melt. We qualitatively verify the principle of time–temperature superposition by observing morphology development in which characteristic structures develop independently of annealing temperature and initial morphology. Domain structures ...
متن کاملConfined Pattern-Directed Assembly of Polymer-Grafted Nanoparticles in a Phase Separating Blend with a Homopolymer Matrix.
The controlled organization of nanoparticle (NP) constituents into superstructures of well-defined shape, composition and connectivity represents a continuing challenge in the development of novel hybrid materials for many technological applications. We show that the phase separation of polymer-tethered nanoparticles immersed in a chemically different polymer matrix provides an effective and sc...
متن کاملPhase-Separation-Induced Surface Patterns in Thin Polymer Blend Films
Atomic force microscopy (AFM), neutron reflection (NR) and secondary ion mass spectroscopy (SIMS) are used to examine phase separation in symmetrically segregating thin polymer blend films (e1000 Å). Phase separation in the film leads to undulations of the liquid-air interface, provided the film is sufficiently thin to suppress surface-directed spinodal decomposition waves. Flattened droplets a...
متن کاملCapillary wrinkling of floating thin polymer films.
A freely floating polymer film, tens of nanometers in thickness, wrinkles under the capillary force exerted by a drop of water placed on its surface. The wrinkling pattern is characterized by the number and length of the wrinkles. The dependence of the number of wrinkles on the elastic properties of the film and on the capillary force exerted by the drop confirms recent theoretical predictions ...
متن کاملAcoustical force nanolithography of thin polymer films
Nanomachining of thin polymer resist films with an atomic force microscope (AFM) is a promising route for the fabrication of nanoscale devices. In order to enhance the controllability of the nanomachining process an in-plane acoustic wave is coupled to the sample support. This enhances the intermittent force exerted by the AFM tip. The lateral resolution reached by this method is only limited b...
