Abstract
The crystallization morphology and the melting behavior of the phase-separating poly(É-caprolactone) (PCL) and poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) blends were studied using atomic force microscopy. Two blends consisting of PCL and PEO with weight ratios of 10/90 and 90/10 were prepared to form the isolated spherical domains by the phase-separating process. The results show that the melting temperatures of the PCL and PEO lamellae in the confined domains increased as the lamellar length increased, and the melting behavior of the PCL and PEO lamellae in the matrix and confined domains was also studied.
