Microphase Separation in Block Copolymer/Homopolymer Blends - Theory and Experiment
The process of microphase separation in diblock copolymer/homopolymer blends is studied both theoretically and experimentally for an asymmetric diblock copolymer and for homopolymer concentration less than 25%. The degree of polymerization of the added homopolymer (N-h) covered all possible cases; N approximate to N-h, N>N-h, and N
