Using nuclear reaction analysis composition-depth profiling, we investigate the influence of symmetric/asymmetric confining walls on the equilibrium configuration of thin films of phase-separated polymer blends. Depth profiles of samples annealed under symmetric boundary conditions show a laterally

## Abstract This study reports a continuous prepartion of spherical or hemispherical polymer particles simply utilizing the phase separation in polymer blend films during the coating process. We took an advantage of the strong phase separation between a waterโsoluble crystalline polymer as a matrix
## Abstract **Summary:** The phaseโmorphology inversion in two blend systems of polystyrene/poly(methyl methacrylate) (PS/PMMA) and polystyrene/poly(__ฮต__โcaprolactone) (PS/PCL) has been studied after their thin films were prepared on glass substrates by spinโcoating from a coโsolvent tetrahydrofur
Solution blending of polystyrene (PS) and natural rubber (NR) was carried out in toluene and chloroform to determine the compatibility. Experimental evidence for the compatibility of these blends was derived from viscometric and phase-separation studies. The viscometric method was based on the intri
