Cluster secondary ion mass spectrometry (cluster SIMS) has played a critical role in the
characterization of polymeric materials over the last decade, allowing for the ability to obtain …

This paper summarizes the results of studies describing the effect of block and graft
copolymers on the phase structure formation and evolution in immiscible polymer blends …

Polymer blends have found widespread uses in phaseseparated as well as homogeneous
states [1–4]. In some cases such as high impact polystyrene, a dispersed polymeric phase is …

The Flory− Huggins interaction is measured for a model rod− coil block copolymer system,
poly (alkoxyphenylenevinylene-b-isoprene), by fitting the interfacial segregation of block …

Interfaces are of critical importance to many materials and phenomena yet are difficult to
probe. This difficulty is compounded in three-dimensional nanostructures and with delicate …

Simple theoretical models show that concentration of a compatibilizing AB block copolymer
at the interface between the phases of A and B homopolymers in immiscible polymer blends …

The structure and the thermodynamic state of polymeric interfaces are important features in
many materials of technological interest. This is especially true for multiconstituent systems …

Lamellae orientation in lithium-complexed polystyrene-block-poly (methyl methacrylate)(PS-
b-PMMA) copolymer films on natively oxidized silicon wafers is investigated as a function of …

Monte Carlo simulations are used to study adsorption of highly asymmetric diblock
copolymers to a polymer-polymer interface, and the results compared to self-consistent field …

A series of well-defined (polyisoprene) 2 (polystyrene), I2S, single graft copolymers with
similar total molecular weights but different compositions, fPS, were blended with a low …
