Abstract: | The results of the electron microscopy investigation of the surface topology of the films obtained from solutions of linear
atactic polystyrene in chloroform are presented. It has been shown that the distribution of density fluctuations in the films
can be described using the model of a fractal percolation cluster of macromolecular coils. A decrease in the local packing
density of particles upon going from θ-coils to blobs is associated with mutual penetration of the coils. An increase in density
fluctuations and a decrease in the relative area and fractal surface of the cluster of the particles are associated with a
decrease in the short-range order caused by the formation of the percolation cluster, which reflects portions of the chains
not involved in the blobs. |
