The formation of a microphase and a macrophase in solvent-cast homopolymer/block copolymer blends, where the homopolymer is exothermically miscible with one of the block copolymer segments, is demonstrated to depend on the molecular weights of the homopolymer and the incompatible segment of the block copolymer, in spite of the exothermic mixing. Binary blends of poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC) with poly(n-butyl-methacrylate-b-styrene) (PnBMA-b-PS) block copolymer, solvent cast from methyl ethyl ketone, were investigated. By varying the molecular weight, we vary the thermodynamic product NχPVC/PSwhich controls the phase morphology. Here N = NPVCNPS/NPVC1 2+ NPS1 2)2, where NPVCand NPSare the degrees of polymerization of PVC and PS block copolymer segment, respectively, and χPVC/PSis the Flory—Huggins parameter which characterizes the repulsive interaction between PVC and PS. Microphase separation is observed when NχPVC/PSis small; and when NχPVC/PSis large, macrophase or macrophase-induced microphase separation occurs. The routes of phase formation are discussed using equilateral triangular phase diagrams, and a morphology diagram is constructed for homopolymer/block copolymer blends. Microphase formation is observed even when the molecular weight of the homopolymer is much larger than that of the miscible block copolymer segment, and when the homopolymer is polydisperse. Indeed, since macrophase formation occurs when N is large, it is clear that low molecular weight block copolymer is necessary to form the microphase when a homopolymer of high molecular weight is present.
