Time resolved hot stage scanning probe microscopy (SPM) studied the evolution of lamellar structure during the crystallization of a binary semicrystalline amorphous blend of poly(epsilon-caprolactone) and polyvinyl chloride. Preparation of the blends involved their separate dissolution in tetrahydrofuran, followed by mixing and casting on cleaved mica surfaces to yield films with a thickness of approximately 10 microns. Digital Instruments' Multimode AFM equipped with a video access module and a slightly modified Digital Instruments' hot stage setup recorded blend melt crystallization. A self seeding technique improved the reproducibility of the resultant semicrystalline morphologies. Experiments in the Tapping Mode achieved a typical ratio of the cantilever vibration amplitudes of approximately 0.9. This technique provided detalied morphological information comparable with that of time resolved small angle X-ray scattering analysis. Direct space information in the SPM images complemented reciprocal space analysis. 8 refs.
