Evolution of 3D structures in a phase-separating polymer blend film confined by symmetric flat walls.
The recently extended imaging mode of dynamic Secondary Ion Mass Spectroscopy as well as its depth profiling variant were used to study three-dimensional structures in a phase-separating polymer blend film. Formation of layered morphology and its further reorganisation into columns were observed in a system confined by symmetric flat surfaces. The integral-geometry-based morphological image analysis provided a quantitative description of the evolution of the phase morphology.
