Phase Identification and Elastic Property of Blend Copolymer Characterized by Force Modulation Microscopy and Force-Distance Curve

Kang B., Lee J.S., Pham L., Sung C., University of Massachusetts-Lowell, US

The technique of polymer blending has been used to create new types of polymers with desirable properties in the past decade. Force Modulation Microscopy (FMM) provides a local contrast due to the local elasticity difference [...]

Phase Morphology Control in Electrospun Nanofibers From Polymer Blends

Wei M., Kang B., Sung C., Mead J., University of Massachusetts-Lowell, US

Nanofibers of polybutadiene/polycarbonate blends were electrospun from polymer solutions. The effect of composition on the resulting internal morphology of the nanofibers was studied using Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM). When the composition ratio of PB/PC blends [...]
