Popis: | In this study, we investigate the effect of random copolymer additives on the interfacial profile, the lateral phase separation morphology, and the interfacial fracture toughness (G c ) between two immiscible polymers. The interface between polystyrene (PS)/poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) was reinforced with a random copolymer mixture when two or more PS f -r-PMMA 1-f random copolymers with different volume fraction, f, were blended. For short annealing time ( 1 lm) from which crazes can be extensively initiated and developed, leading to a large interfacial fracture energy. With increasing annealing time, the random copolymer mixture self-organizes as multiple layers, with the composition that changes gradually from PS-rich layers to PMMA-rich layers across the interface, leading to a large interfacial width. However, within each layer, the random copolymer mixture microphase separates laterally into smaller domains ( |
