Abstract
The behavior of random copolymers of polystyrene (PS) and polymethylme thacrylate (PMMA), denoted P(S-j-r-MMA(1-j)), at the polymer/air, poly mer/polymer and polymer/solid interfaces was investigated by neutron r eflectivity. Interfacial broadening shows significant penetration of t he copolymer into the adjacent homopolymer.
