Abstract
A computer simulation of the dynamical evolution of the domain structure via spinodal decomposition was performed for a binary polymer blend in which one component has a bimodal molecular-weight distribution. The results indicated that the dynamical scaling law is valid for this polydisperse system.This publication has 15 references indexed in Scilit:
