Plasma‐deposited polymer films. I. Low‐angle x‐ray study

摘要

AbstractA low‐angle x‐ray scattering technique has been applied to determine the submicrostructure of plasma‐formed polyethylene and polystyrene. The plasma‐formed polymers appear to closely approximate a “filler—binder” structure where polymer spheres constitute the filler material and a lower‐density polymer, the binder. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) micrographs confirm the spherical diameters predicted by the low‐angle x‐
