The study of surface segregation and the formation of gradient domain structure at the blend of poly(methyl methacrylate)/poly(dimethyl siloxane) graft copolymers and acrylate adhesive copolymers

摘要

The effect of siloxane chain length on surface segregation of poly(methyl methacrylate)-grafted poly(dimethyl siloxane) (PMMA-g-PDMS)/poly(2-ethylhexyl acrylate-co-acrylic acid-co-vinyl acetate) [P(2EHA-AA-VAc)] blends was investigated. The blends of PMMA-g-PDMS with P(2EHA-AA-VAc) showed surface segregations of PDMS components. The surface enrichments of PDMS in the blends depended significantly on the PDMS chain length. Also, this blend showed the gradient domain structure. (C) 2002 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. [References: 22]
