Mapping chemically heterogeneous polymer system using selective chemical reaction and tapping mode atomic force microscopy
The mapping of chemically heterogeneous regions in PEA/PS film was achieved by reacting the film in a low pH environment and analyzing by AFM. In 70:30 blend, the domains were identified as PS rich regions and matrix as the PEA rich regions, based on AFM images, FTIR measurements, and chemical modif...
