Abstract

The morphology of immiscible blends of polystyrene and poly(methyl methacrylate) compatibilized by the addition of poly(styrene-block-methyl methacrylate) symmetric diblock copolymers was studied using small angle neutron scattering. From increases in phase dimensions, the reduction in interfacial tension has been calculated. Diblock micelle formation has also been observed.
