SiO_2纳米粒子对PMMA/PS共混物共连续相结构退火粗化过程的影响

考察了亲水性纳米SiO2粒子的加入对聚甲基丙烯酸甲酯/聚苯乙烯(PMMA/PS)共混体系的共连续相结构在静态高温退火时形态稳定性的影响,发现静态高温退火条件下,填充体系共连续组成范围变窄幅度较小、特征结构尺寸的粗化速率减慢.流变测试表明纳米SiO2粒子加入之后PMMA/PS共混体系的黏弹性显著提高,从而能减缓破坏构成共连续相结构的纤维断裂或回缩等松弛过程的速率,有效地抑制PMMA/PS共混体系的共连续相结构粗化进程,提高相结构的稳定性.根据现有的两种粗化理论的定性分析表明,在高填充量的共混体系中,加入纳米SiO2粒子导致共混体系的黏弹性的显著改变是影响PMMA/PS共混体系在静态高温退火时共连续相结构粗化速率的主要因素,相对而言界面张力的变化对共连续相结构在静态高温退火时的粗化速率影响则应该较小.

聚苯乙烯-聚甲基丙烯酸甲酯两嵌段共聚物薄膜在丙酮蒸汽退火下的形貌演化

用敲击模式原子力显微镜研究了聚苯乙烯-聚甲基丙烯酸甲酯(PS-b-PMMA)两嵌段共聚物薄膜形貌在丙酮蒸汽退火下随时间的演化过程.对于对称的嵌段共聚物薄膜(fPS≈fPMMA,fPS为PS-b-PMMA中PS的体积分数,fPMMA为PMMA的体积分数),通过控制膜厚和平衡态时相周期的比值可以使不同分子量的嵌段共聚物薄膜都实现由蠕虫状结构到孔洞再到条纹的形貌演化过程;对于非对称的嵌段共聚物薄膜,发现当聚苯乙烯组分含量较少(25%,36%)时,薄膜的形貌由无序态分别转变为规则排列的小球和直接转变为条纹结构;而当聚苯乙烯组分含量较多(70%)时,薄膜的形貌则由无序态转变为较平整的表面结构.我们对不同形貌的形成机理进行了详细的讨论.     

Surface and interface morphology of polystyrene/poly(methyl methacrylate) thin‐film blends and bilayers

The surface and interface morphologies of polystyrene (PS)/poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) thin‐film blends and bilayers were investigated by means of atomic force microscopy (AFM) and X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy. Spin‐coating a drop of a PS solution directly onto a PMMA bottom layer from a common solvent for both polymers yielded lateral domains that exhibited a well‐defined topographical structure. Two common solvents were used in this study. The structure of the films changed progressively as the concentration of the PS solution was varied. The formation of the blend morphology could be explained by the difference in the solubility of the two polymers in the solvent and the dewetting of PS‐rich domains from the PMMA‐rich phase. Films of the PS/PMMA blend and bilayer were annealed at temperatures above their glass‐transition temperatures for up to 70 h. All samples investigated with AFM were covered with PS droplets of various size distributions. Moreover, we investigated the evolution of the annealed PS/PMMA thin‐film blend and bilayer and gave a proper explanation for the formation of a relatively complicated interface inside a larger PS droplet. © 2005 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Surface phase separation, dewetting feature size, and crystal morphology in thin films of polystyrene/poly(ε-caprolactone) blend

Thin films of polystyrene (PS)/poly(ε-caprolactone) (PCL) blends were prepared by spin-coating and characterized by tapping mode force microscopy (AFM). Effects of the relative concentration of PS in polymer solution on the surface phase separation and dewetting feature size of the blend films were systematically studied. Due to the coupling of phase separation, dewetting, and crystallization of the blend films with the evaporation of solvent during spin-coating, different size of PS islands decorated with various PCL crystal structures including spherulite-like, flat-on individual lamellae, and flat-on dendritic crystal were obtained in the blend films by changing the film composition. The average distance of PS islands was shown to increase with the relative concentration of PS in casting solution. For a given ratio of PS/PCL, the feature size of PS appeared to increase linearly with the square of PS concentration while the PCL concentration only determined the crystal morphology of the blend films with no influence on the upper PS domain features. This is explained in terms of vertical phase separation and spinodal dewetting of the PS rich layer from the underlying PCL rich layer, leading to the upper PS dewetting process and the underlying PCL crystalline process to be mutually independent.     

PMMA/PS共混物薄膜中Voronoi结构的形成

Vomnoi结构与一些自然结构十分相象,早在17世纪,Descartes就在他的著作中采用了类似Vomnoi结构的图形来表示太阳系及其环境中的物质分布．Vomnoi图（如图1所示）的概念来自于计算几何,设有平面空间点集合A={a1,a2,……an},其中ai=（xi,yi）,对于任意一个ai,满足｜P-ai｜≤min ｜P-aj｜（j=1,2,……,n;j≠i）的点P=（x,y）的轨迹称为点集A的vomnoi图．     

Size effects on miscibility and glass transition temperature of binary polymer blend films

After determining the size dependent miscibility of binary polymer blend films using molecular dynamics simulation and thermodynamics, the size dependent glass transition temperatures Tg(w,D) of several polymer blend films in miscible ranges are determined by computer simulation and the Fox equation where w is the weight fraction of the second component and D denotes thickness of films. The Tg(w,D) function of a thin film can decrease or increase as D decreases depending on their surface or interface states. The computer simulation results are consistent with available experimental results and theoretical results for polymer blend films of PPO/PS [poly(2,6-dimethyl-1,4-phenylene oxide)/polystyrene] and stereoregular PMMA/PEO [poly(methyl methacrylate)/poly(ethylene oxide)]. The physical background of the above results is related to the root of mean square displacement of thin films in their different regions.     

In-situ polymer blends via chain transfer living polymerization (CTLP)

In-situ polymer blends of polystyrene (PS)/poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) with controlled and variable different compositions and molecular weights were found to be successfully synthesized by “chain transfer living polymerization (CTLP)” methodology by a combination of size-exclusion chromatographic analysis, differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), UV/Vis and H NMR spectroscopy, and optical microscopic analysis. The PMMAs prepared in tetrahydrofuran (THF) in the presence of polystyrene exhibit highly syndiotactic stereoregularity (over 70 mol-%) and a glass transition temperature over 120°C. A dispersed morphology was found even for blends with over 31 vol.-% of the weight fraction of one component due to the discrepancy in the molecular weights of two components in the PS/PMMA blends. A ternary polymer blend system having PS/PMMA/PS -block- PMMA can be generated by control of the concentration of fluorene as the chain transfer agent in the CTLP.     

Use of block copolymer-stabilized cadmium sulfide quantum dots as novel tracers for laser scanning confocal fluorescence imaging of blend morphology in polystyrene/poly(methyl methacrylate) films

This paper describes the first use of polymer-coated quantum dots (QDs) as fluorescent tracers for LSCFM imaging of phase morphology in polymer blends. Cadmium sulfide (CdS) QDs stabilized at the surface with a PS-b-PAA block copolymer are shown to be well dispersed via their polystyrene (PS) brush layer in the PS phase of solvent-cast 40/60 (w/w) PS/PMMA blends. The QDs are excluded from the PMMA phase, providing excellent fluorescence contrast for LSCFM imaging of the phase-separated blends. The presence of PS-b-PAA-stabilized QDs does not appear to affect the blend morphology, since the observed morphologies are the same when the percentage of QDs within the PS phase is varied from 10 to 50 wt %. These QD fluorescent tracers are used to characterize several aspects of blend morphology in solvent-cast 40/60 PS/PMMA blends containing PS homopolymer with either 100 (low molecular weight) or 1250 (high molecular weight) repeat units. In the PS(1250)/PMMA blends, a percolating distribution of PMMA droplets (2-25 mum) in a PS matrix is observed in the bulk, and a distinct inversion in the continuous phase is found near the glass substrate. In the PS(100)/PMMA blends, a "phase-in-phase" morphology is found, consisting of large PS domains (20-100 mum) dispersed in a PMMA continuous phase and small PMMA domains (1-2 mum) scattered throughout the larger PS droplets. The observed change in blend structure is attributed to a lower interfacial tension for the lower molecular weight PS.     

Atomic force microscopy investigation of asymmetric diblock copolymer morphologies in thin films

Microphase separation and the resulting morphology of asymmetric diblock copolymers of poly(ε-caprolactone) (PCL) in thin films have been investigated by atomic force microscopy. Copolymers consisted of a short block of PCL (M_n∼2500-4500 g/mole) and a longer second block of poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA), poly(styrene) (PS) or poly(cyclohexene oxide) (PCHO). Tendency for microphase separation above the glass transition temperature of the second block (PMMA, PS or PCHO) resulted in a pitted morphology on the surface of the thin films. This tendency was strongest for PMMA and weakest for PCHO. The presence of up to 54% PMMA homopolymer in PCL-PMMA block copolymer did not prevent the formation of such pitted morphology on the surface. The effect of the chemical structure of the second block and the possible orientations of the block copolymer molecules in thin films are discussed.

Shear flow effect on phase behavior and morphology in polymer blends

The effect of simple shear flow on the phase behavior and morphology was investigated for both polystyrene/poly(vinyl methyl ether) (PS/PVME) and poly(methyl methacrylate)/poly(styrene‐co‐acrylonitrile) (PMMA /SAN‐29.5) blends, which have LCST (lower critical solution temperature)‐type phase diagram. The measurements were carried out using a special shear apparatus of two parallel glass plates type. The PS/PVME blends showed shear‐induced demixing and shear‐induced mixing at low and high shear rate values, respectively. In addition, the rotation speed and the sample thickness were found to have a pronounced effect on the phase behavior under shear flow. On the‐other hand, PMMA/SAN blend showed only shear‐induced mixing and the magnitudes of the elevation of the cloud points were found to be composition and molecular weight dependent. The morphology of the PMMA/SAN=75/25 blend indicated that shear‐induced mixing occurred at a critical shear rate value, below which the two phases were highly oriented and elongated in the flow direction.
