The surface properties of polymer blends are important for many industrial applications. The physical and chemical properties at the surface of polymer blends can be drastically different from those in the bulk due to the surface segregation of the low surface energy component. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and time-of-flight secondary mass spectrometry (ToF-SIMS) have been widely used to characterize surface and bulk properties. This review provides a brief introduction to the principles of XPS and ToF-SIMS and their application to the study of the surface physical and chemical properties of polymer blends.
聚合物共混物的表面性质对许多工业应用都很重要。由于低表面能组分的表面偏析,聚合物共混物表面的物理和化学性质可能与本体中的性质有很大不同。X射线光电子能谱(XPS)和飞行时间二次质谱(ToF-SIMS)已被广泛用于表征表面和本体性质。本文综述简要介绍了XPS和ToF-SIMS的原理及其在聚合物共混物表面物理和化学性质研究中的应用。
