Abstract

Secondary Ion Mass Spectroscopy (SIMS) has been used to study the surface and interfacial segregation of diblock copolymers in mixtures of the copolymer in the homopolymer. Symmetric, diblock copolymers of polystyrene (PS) and poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA), in either the PS or the PMMA homopolymers were investigated. In mixtures of the copolymer with the PS homopolymer, systematic surface enrichment of the copolymer as well as segregation of the copolymer to the polymer/Si interface or in the case of bilayered filmsto the polymer/polymer interface occurs with annealing treatments. These segregation effects persist over a large range of homopolymer molecular weights with changes in the kinetics of the segregation process being predominant.
