Controllable growth of gradient porous structures.

Abstract:

:Cocontinuous phase structures of immiscible polymers can be developed under appropriate melt-blending conditions. Because of the presence of interfacial tension, such cocontinuous structures start to coarsen when heated to a temperature higher than the melting/softening temperature of both phases. In this study, a method for controllable growth of gradient porous structures utilizing variable coarsening rates in a gradient temperature field was investigated. The phase structure coarsens at a higher rate in higher temperature regions but at a slower rate in lower temperature regions, resulting in the generation of a gradient phase morphology. Subsequent dissolution of one phase in the binary blend yields a gradient porous structure made of the remaining polymer component. A polystyrene/poly(lactic acid) (PLA) blend was used as a model system. By designing proper thermal boundary conditions and introducing different thermal gradients during annealing, different types of gradient porous structures of PLA were created.
