Abstract.

The recently extended imaging mode of dynamic Secondary Ion Mass Spectroscopy as well as its depth profiling variant were used to study three-dimensional structures in a phase-separating polymer blend film. Formation of layered morphology and its further reorganisation into columns were observed in a system confined by symmetric flat surfaces. The integral-geometry-based morphological image analysis provided a quantitative description of the evolution of the phase morphology.
