Abstract
The interdiffusion of two compatible polymer pairs was measured using two different FT-IR spectroscopic techniques. In the system polystyrene (PS) and polyvinylmethylether (PVME) the interdiffusion was observed by recording the arising interaction spectrum as a function of time. The mixing of the two polymers was found to be a diffusion controlled process. For the other polymer pair, polystyrene (PS) and polyphenyleneoxide (PPE), a new technique, the scanning FT-IR microscopy (SIRM), was applied. With this technique the concentration profile along the phase boundary was evaluated.
