Review and critical analysis of the morphology of random ionomers across many length scales

摘要: This review presents a description of what is known about ionomer morphology. All papers on morphology are not included in this review; but all relevant questions posed and answered as completely possible. The critical; that is, reasons given for morphologies deemed to be more or less likely. organized along three length scales: sub-nanometer, nanometer 10 nm, greater than nm. Within each scale, phases considered: crystalline, amorphous, ionic aggregate. purity the phases, arrangement atoms size shape their arrangements space relative other explored review. A model aggregates ionomers have well-ordered internal environments presented. proposes fundamentally planar, will “roll up” into tubes related structures order reduce number at aggregate edges. was developed primarily based varied shown electron micrographs, consistent with indirect measurements POLYM.
