Abstract
A mean field model of interface formation between two weakly incompatible polymer blends is used to investigate the time development of interfacial composition. The interface width as a function of time exhibits two power law growth regimes ; a t1/2 growth law at early times crosses over to a t1/4 growth law before relaxing towards the equilibrium interfacial profileKeywords
