Abstract
We describe the technique of dynamic secondary ion mass spectrometry develo ped to determine three-dimensional phase domain structures of films of poly mer blends. The polymers are composed of light elements or are labeled with deuterium or heavy elements. The applicability of this method to various p olymer blends forming thin and ultrathin films with flat and undulated air/ film interface is discussed.
