Abstract

The crystallization-induced deformation of spherical microdomains in block copolymer blends consisting of a soft amorphous phase was presented. The crystallization of polyethylene oxide (PEO) blocks within the spherical microdomains were induced at the temperatures above Tg of polybutadiene (PB) and the domains were dispersed in a soft matrix during crystallization. Results showed that the spherical microdomains present in the melt state of a PEO-b-PB/PB blend system were not preserved upon crystallization.
