Binary Polymer Mixtures in Selective Solvents: Interfacial Structure

The interaction of a large polymer droplet (formed by a poorly soluble polymer A) with a soluble polymer additive (polymer B) is investigated in the framework of a mean‐field approach. We found that polymer B may tend to adsorb on the surface of the droplet even when it is immiscible with polymer A...

description The interaction of a large polymer droplet (formed by a poorly soluble polymer A) with a soluble polymer additive (polymer B) is investigated in the framework of a mean‐field approach. We found that polymer B may tend to adsorb on the surface of the droplet even when it is immiscible with polymer A in the droplet and is soluble in the solvent surrounding the droplet. We calculated the concentration profiles of both polymers A and B near the interface and established conditions for polymer B accumulation at the interface. The dependencies of the surface tension and the interfacial excess of polymer B on its bulk concentration are also calculated. We found that even a very small amount of homopolymer B additive may result in a significant reduction of the interfacial tension (by a factor of 2). The effect is stronger if the additive is more flexible than the insoluble polymer. The region of parameters where B from dilute solution is adsorbed at the A/solvent interface (II).
