Abstract

Time-of-flight secondary ion mass spectrometry imaging capability was used to study the morphology and miscibility of the ethylene-tetrafluoroethylene copolymer (ETFE)/poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) blends. A semicrystalline region containing mostly ETFE, an amorphous region containing mostly PMMA and an amorphous region containing significant levels of ETFE and PMMA were detected. These results were in total agreement with the differential scanning calorimetric measurements.
