Abstract

Compositional imaging of several immiscible polymer blends was examined with the combination of AFM-based mechanical and electric modes with chemically-specific Raman mapping. Results showed that these methods substantially complement each other in comprehensive characterization of surface morphology by helping to identify a composition of top surface and sub-surface materials in polymer heterogeneous systems.
