Abstract: ABSTRACTThis paper presents the results of transmission electron microscopy (TEM) studies on the distribution of polystyrene/polyisoprene/polystyrene (SIS) triblock copolymer compatibilizer in polystyrene-polyethylene homopolymer blends. The principal independent variable studied is the major-phase rheological properties (PSmajor/PEminor and PEmajor/PSmimor blends). The polyisoprene block was preferentially stained by OSO4 and could be clearly identified in cryo-ultramicrotomed TEM sections. The microstructura…
scite is a Brooklyn-based startup that helps researchers better discover and evaluate scientific articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by researchers from dozens of countries and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute of Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
