Abstract
The fluorescence quenching of anthracene-labeled polystyrene by poly(vinyl methyl ether) allows one to investigate the phase diagrams and the kinetics of phase separation of PS-PVME blend systems. The experimental data are compared with the predictions of theoretical models for binodal curves, nucleation and growth phase separation, spinodal decomposition. The effect of a shear flow on the miscibility range is examined.
