Visualization of Macrophase Separation and Transformation in Immiscible Polymer Blends

Identification and visualization of phase structures in-side polymer blends are of critical importance in the understanding of their intrinsic structure and dynamics.However,the direct optical observation of the individ-ual component phase in a dense bulk material poses a significant challenge.Herein,three-dimensional fluorescence imaging of phase separation and real-time visualization of phase transformation in immisci-ble polymer blends of polypropylene and polystyrene is realized through multiphoton laser scanning micros-copy.Owing to the specific fluorescence behavior of the cyanostyrene derivative 2-(4-bromophenyl)-3-(4-(4-(diphenylamino)styryl)phenyl)fumaronitrile,the high-contrast imaging of the macrophase of the com-ponent polymer in two and three dimensions with a maximum depth of 140 μm and a high signal-to-noise ratio of 300 can be achieved.Detailed spectroscopic and structural studies reveal that the distinctive fluo-rescence features of each phase domain should origi-nate from the formation of a completely different aggregate between probes and component polymer.Furthermore,visualizations of the internal morphology deformation and macrophase transformation were re-alized by employing a stretched dumbbell sample un-der constant tension.
