The sections were stained by exposure to the vapors of a ruthenium tetroxide solution for 20 min at room temperature.
Tough polyamide 6/core-shell blends prepared via in situ anionic polymerization of [epsilon]-caprolactam by reactive extrusion
The samples were trimmed parallel to the direction of injection molding and then stained for 48 hours using ruthenium tetroxide. The ruthenium tetroxide solution was prepared from ruthenium (III) chloride hydrate and sodium hypochlorite.
It was found that for these specimens, the PE phase (identified by the clearly visible crystallites) was more heavily stained by the ruthenium tetroxide than the PS phase.
Effects of processing conditions and copolymer molecular weight on the mechanical properties and morphology of compatibilized polymer blends
The sections were vapor stained over a 1% solution of ruthenium tetroxide. The duration of the vapor staining was varied to obtain a good contrast.
