Elongation-induced phase separation of poly(vinyl alcohol)/poly(acrylic-acid) blends as studied by C-13 CP/MAS NMR and wide-angle X-ray diffraction
The membrane samples of poly(vinyl alcohol)/poly(acrylic-acid) (PVA/PAA) blend with different draw ratios were studied by both C-13 CP/MAS NMR and wide-angle X-ray diffraction (WARD) measurements. Phase separation induced by elongation of the sample was observed and the change of the phase structure with draw ratio was found to be dependent on the composition of the blend samples.
