Surface Morphology of a PVC/PMMA Blend Studied by ToF-SIMS

Abstract

Time-of-flight secondary ion mass spectrometry (ToF-SIMS) studies, utilizing both laterial imaging and shallow depth profiling, of a 50:50 poly(vinyl chloride)/poly(methyl methacrylate) (PVC:PMMA) blend have confirmed the presence of a thin overlayer of PMMA on the phase-separated bulk morphology.
