Abstract
Ultra-thin films of weakly incompatible polymer blends form smooth films with correlated interfaces upon suitable preparation. With the poly-(styrene-co-para-bromo-styrene) PBr0.91S/PBr0.67S blend system, of slightly different degrees of bromination, a series of samples with varying composition on top of roughened substrates has been investigated. The surface morphology of the thin films was characterized by microscopy measurements, while with diffuse X-ray scattering the roughness correlation between the interfaces was examined. A lower cut-off length of the replicated roughness spectrum at small dimensions was obtained. Our results show, that the blend composition has a distinct influence on the replicated in-plane lengths.
