Study of interfaces in polymer bilayers by slow positron beam
We report our result on the characterization of buried polymer-polymer interfaces in thin polymer films using a positron beam. Doppler broadening measurements were performed for poly(methylphenylsilane)/poly(vinyl alcohol) bilayer. The relationship between the shape(S)-wing(W) map and structure in the bilayer was analyzed using the VEPFIT program. The results show that the S-W map can monitor the polymer-polymer interface.
