states for complete wetting and their inter-conversion. The various morphological states observed are presented in Figures 6-8b) and 6-8c). A triangular composition/morphology diagram (Figure 6-8c) was prepared. The sides of the triangle show the volume fraction of HDPE, PS, and PMMA phases ranging from 0% to 100%. The morphologies shown in Figures 6-8b) and 6-8c) will typically be observed in all ternary polymer blends demonstrating complete wetting. However, it should be noted that the boundaries between regions, as shown in Figure 6-8c), could also be influenced by the viscosity of the various phases and this point will be examined in future work. Figure 6-8c) demonstrates the concentration regimes for: a) tricontinuous blends of both type I and type II behavior (Cases I and II in Figure 6-8); b) matrix/separate dispersed phases with PS as matrix phase (Case III); bi- continuous/dispersed phase with HDPE as droplets (Case IV) or with PMMA as droplets (Case V); and matrix/core-shell either with PMMA as matrix (Case VI) or with HDPE as matrix (Case VII). These regions were detected by a combination of both SEM and FIB-AFM and through the use of selective extraction/gravimetric analysis as quantitative technique to detect inversion points.
