Microstructure of block copolymer reinforced interfaces observed with frictional force microscopy
Source abstract
Abstract
The microstructure of block copolymer‐reinforced interfaces of homopolymers has been studied by frictional force microscopy (FFM). The FFM micrograph in the Figure shows details, e.g., lamellar branching, of a poly(styrene)/poly(2‐vinylpyridine) (PS/PVP) homopolymer interface reinforced with a PVP–PS–PVP triblock copolymer. An explanation for the need to “develop” the FFM image is proposed and the advantages of FFM over TEM are discussed. magnified image
