Abstract
Small-angle light scattering (SALS) was used to investigate the kinetics of spinodal decomposition for a mixture of ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer (EVA) and solution-chlorinated polyethylene (SCPE). Although SALS did not cover the full wavevector range necessary for our experiments we were able to analyse the spinodal kinetics following Cahn-Hilliard theory. An increase in the chlorine content of the SCPE resulted in a shift of the phase boundary to higher temperatures. Relaxation processes and morphology of the blends were related by comparing kinetic and calorimetric measurements.
