摘要
Application of tapping mode atomic force microscopy (TMAFM) phase imaging techniques to characterize the morphology of polymeric blends is reviewed. The basic principle of TMAFM phase imaging capability is introduced. A summary of phase contrast applications for various polymeric blend systems such as rubber-rubber, plastic-rubber, and plastic-plastic blends is extensively discussed. The review shows that AFM is a very useful technique in probing micro-phase dispersion, compatibility between blend components, and local mechanical properties in polymeric blend systems.
