title = "Morphology and rheology of cocontinuous blends",
abstract = "The time evolution of the elastic modulus and the geometrical parameters of interfaces in a 50/50 PS/SAN cocontinuous blend are analyzed during annealing. The interfaces were tracked via LSCM (laser scanning confocal microscopy) coupled with 3D-image analysis. The evolution of G′ and the geometrical variables can be described with power laws. Experiments reveal that interfaces relax faster (dQ/dt∝Q2.4) than predicted by the Doi-Ohta theory (dQ/dt∝Q2) [1]. Rheological behavior is a result of interfacial relaxation which includes interface expansion and curvature relaxation.",
