22. It is, however, noted that during short annealing times the side views kept changing. For instance, the side view (or contact angles) for a specimen with 16.7 wt % of PS-GMA annealed for 3 and 5 min was very similar to that for specimens with 1.5 and 4 wt % of PS-GMA annealed for 30 min or longer, respectively. But, at annealing times longer than 7 min, the side view of the above blend did not change with time. In this study, the maximum amount of PS-GMA in the total PS phase was ∼16.7 wt %. This is because the interface between PBT and PS phase for a blend with PS-GMA more than ∼20 wt % became too quickly immobilized; thus, the top view of the middle PBT phase could not become a circular shape.
23. 6 The values of γ(PS+PS-GMA)/PBT given in Figure 3 were obtained after this change was considered.
