Morphological structure characterization

  • Chapter
Book cover Ionomers

Abstract

Because a number of different polymers have been modified to create ionomers, one might expect that the resulting morphology would be dependent on the particular ionomer. In fact, similarities between different ionomers far outweigh the differences. Even further, placement of ionic groups along the backbone, whether distributed evenly, randomly, or only at the ends does not seem to alter the basic morphology. This invariance is the result of the strong fundamental driving force for phase separation in ionomers—the Coulombic attraction between the ionic groups. It is generally agreed that these polar groups phase separate into small ion-rich aggregates. Ionic aggregation is responsible for the marked improvement in material properties which are discussed fully in chapters 6 and 7 of this monograph.
