摘要
The measurement of the kinetics of film formation and phase separation in a spin-cast polymer blend using in-situ reflectivity and light scattering techniques was discussed. The changes in film thickness during spinning were measured using specular reflectivity. The radially averaged light scattering exhibited pulsations in intensity with a periodicity observed in the specular reflectivity. The secondary phase separation in micrographs of the films after spinning was also elaborated.
