The interdiffusion of polymer chains across the latex boundaries during latex film formation has been studied using the fluorescence technique of direct energy transfer (DET) or small-angle neutron scattering technique (SANS) by several groups. The increase in mechanical strength and the interdiffusion depth determined by SANS has been correlated for several polystyrene latex systems during film formation. In this paper, we will present the correlation between the increase in mechanical strength and the interdiffusion depth for a poly (amyl methacrylate) latex system. Volume fractions of mixing (Fm) as a function of annealing time for two poly (amyl methacrylate) latex blend films were measured.
