✦ Synopsis

Abstract

We study the microphase separation in cross‐linked polymer mixtures and interpenetrating polymer networks by taking into account the coupling between the fluctuations of the order parameter and the strain tensor. We predict that thermal fluctuations of the order parameter decrease the compression and shear moduli and that compression of the sample decreases the critical temperature of microphase separation. We also compute the scattering function in the case of shear and uniaxial deformations.

Latex interpenetrating polymer networks (LIPNs) were prepared by swelling the polyacrylate seed (comprised of methyl methacrylate and n-butyl acrylate in the ratio of 45 : 55 by weight), having different amounts of methacrylic acid (MAA) ranging from 0 to 6 w t %, with styrene monomer, whose polymer
