摘要
Semi-interpenetrating polymer networks with well defined morphologies were obtained using a three-step process, separating morphology formation and polymerization/crosslinking. Different phase textures were formed when (spinodal) liquid/liquid demixing of a solution of atactic polystyrene in methacrylate monomers was arrested by thermoreversible gelation (vitrification) of the polymer-rich phase at a desired stage. Subsequent UV-polymerization of the methacrylate allowed to study the morphology by transmission electron microscopy. Phase diagrams of polymer solutions with low and high viscosities are reported. Depending on the initial solution viscosities and the applied cooling conditions, morphologies both with a dispersed as well with a continuous polystyrene phase could be obtained at PS concentrations already below 10 Mechanical measurements indicated only partial demixing in the semi-IPN's.
