摘要
Optical inspection is a potentially powerful and practical tool to collect information on polymer blend morphology for on‐line quality and process control. This paper describes two approaches for the characterization of polymer blend materials by multiple light scattering. A quantitative evaluation of spectral turbidimetry (scattering of transmitted light) is presented and an adaptation of this technique for monitoring particle size, independent of the volume fraction is demonstrated. Such a procedure is applicable to materials in film form. A different approach is presented for the analysis of nearly spherical particles in optically thick samples: the diffuse reflection pattern surrounding the position of incidence of a focused light beam on the surface of the turbid medium is scanned by a single side imaging system. A spectral pseudo‐transmittance signal processing technique provides particle size information again independent of the volume fraction: Both techniques have been tested using well characterized polystyrene microspheres suspended in water as well as poly(methyl) (methacrylate)/polystyrene polymer blends.
