Summary Morphological control of polymer solutions containing cellulose and synthetic polymers through spinodal decomposition was studied by optical microscopy inspection. The evolution of phase-separated structures depends highly on the ratio of the evaporation rate and the growth rate of concentration fluctuations. Regular bicontinuous structures result only when this ratio is sufficiently high. Then, the regular morphology develops at relatively high polymer concentration and is maintained as a whole in the course of evaporation.
