Morphological investigations of solvent-cast polymer blend films, containing dilute dispersions of poly(methyl methacrylate-block-styrene) (PMMA- b-PS) in a matrix of either poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) or poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC) are described. PMMA and PVC species having molecular weights ra...
