Description

Small- and wide-angle x-ray scattering was used to investigate the phase structure of mixtures of polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) with polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) as function of the thermal treatment and the γ-radiation dose. Irradiation of 1/ 1 mixtures obtained by quenching from a homogeneous melt with doses of up to 1 Mrd leads to radiation breakdown of the components; on the other hand, irradiation with larger doses leads to radiation crosslinking of PVDF. γ-Irradiation accelerates phase separation in the system, as a result of which microregions of pure PVDF of colloidal size are formed
