摘要
The morphologies of poly(dimethylsiloxane)-nylon-6 diblock copolymers and binary/ternary blends with PDMS and nylon-6 homopolymers have been revealed by transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The spherulitic morphologies of materials cast from solution in 2,2,2 trifluoroethanol have been compared to the spherical microphase-separated structures obtained by annealing above the melting point of nylon-6. Either the PDMS rubber block length or the nature of the casting solvent can be employed to shift control of the morphology between mechanisms of microphase separation and crystallization. As a result, 'path-dependent' morphologies have been observed for PDMS-nylon-6 diblock copolymers and blends and these are explained in a unified manner via a conceptual phase diagram.
