Abstract

The droplet-like morphology, typical for many polymer-small-organic-molecule blends processed by spin coating, is quantitatively analyzed by gracing incidence small angle X-ray scattering by Giuseppe Portale and co-workers in article number 1702516. Using a combination of simultaneous X-ray scattering, laser scattering, and laser interferometry measurements, a formation mechanism based on liquid-liquid demixing followed by solvent partitioning is observed during spin coating.
