<p>The formation of complex structures in thin films is of interest in many fields. Segregation of polymer chains of different molecular weights is a well-known process. However, here, polystyrene with bimodal molecular weight distribution, but no additional chemical modification was used. It was proven that at certain conditions, the phase separation occurred between two fractions of bimodal polystyrene/methyl ethyl ketone solution. The films were prepared by spin-coating, and the segregation between polystyrene phases was investigated by force spectroscopy. Next, water vapour induced secondary phase separation was investigated. The introduction of moist airflow induced the self-assembly of the lower molecular weight into islands and the heavier fraction into a honeycomb. As a result, an easy, fast, and effective method of obtaining island/honeycomb morphologies was demonstrated. The possible mechanisms of the formation of such structures were discussed.</p>

Kenaf-core sandwich panels were prepared by hand lay-up method with the optimum characteristics. The aim of this study is to determine the effects of modified epoxy on the mechanical properties of the sandwich panel. Mechanical test such as flexural, drop impact and tensile test were performed to investigate the optimum system of kenaf-core sandwich panel within 0-5wt% of kenaf fiber content. It revealed that the optimum loading of kenaf fiber was at 3wt%. Furthermore, this system was studied with the incorporation of liquid natural rubber (LNR) as impact modifier. All tests have been carried out according to the ASTM 365, C297, C393, and D1736. Each final data point is an average value that has been obtained based on a statistical sampling of four specimens. The main element of core structure is kenaf and the skin used in this study is aluminium type 1100. According to compression, flatwise tensile, three point bending and drop impact tests, 3wt% of LNR content exhibit as an excellent impact modifier, in modifying the mechanical properties due to rubber toughening. In addition of too much liquid natural rubber more than 5wt% was substantially interrupted the system.
