Neutron reflectivity and low-energy forward-recoil spectrometry were used simultaneously to monitor surface segregation in blends of poly(styrene-ran-acrylonitrile), dSAN23 and SAN27, having 23 and 27 wt % AN, respectively. Because of its lower AN content, dSAN23 was found to partition at the polymer/air interface, in agreement with the work of Mansfield et al. (Physica B 1991, 173, 207) and Kim et al. (Polymer 1995, 36, 2427). In contrast to the previous studies, this work explores surface segregation at high dSAN23 bulk volume fractions, φ∞ (i.e., φ∞ > 0.50). New results include the observation of a maximum dSAN23 surface excess (∼75 A) near φ∞ ≈ 0.35 and a dSAN23 surface volume fraction that approaches 1, rather than 0.75, as φ∞increases to 1. The dSAN23 profile deviates from the exponential profile predicted by Schmidt−Binder and self-consistent mean-field (SCMF) models. For φ∞ > 0.50, the profile displays a surface flattening not observed at low φ∞. The SCMF model is extended to account for polymer p...
