Book excerpt: "the present book will be of great value for both newcomers to the field and mature active researchers by serving as a coherent and timely introduction to some of the modern approaches, ideas, results, emerging understanding, and many open questions in this fascinating field of polymer glasses, supercooled liquids, and thin films" –Kenneth S. Schweizer, Morris Professor of Materials Science & Engineering, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign (from the Foreword) This book provides a timely and comprehensive overview of molecular level insights into polymer glasses in confined geometries and under deformation. Polymer glasses have become ubiquitous to our daily life, from the polycarbonate eyeglass lenses on the end of our nose to large acrylic glass panes holding water in aquarium tanks, with advantages over glass in that they are lightweight and easy to manufacture, while remaining transparent and rigid. The contents include an introduction to the field, as well as state of the art investigations. Chapters delve into studies of commonalities across different types of glass formers (polymers, small molecules, colloids, and granular materials), which have enabled microscopic and molecular level frameworks to be developed. The authors show how glass formers are modeled across different systems, thereby leading to treatments for polymer glasses with first-principle based approaches and molecular level detail. Readers across disciplines will benefit from this topical overview summarizing the key areas of polymer glasses, alongside an introduction to the main principles and approaches.

This book was released on 2010 with total page 170 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hybrid organic-inorganic glasses are materials wherein organic and inorganic chemical components are intermixed and covalently bound at the molecular scale. This class of materials has great potential to enable and enhance a range of new technologies given their unique properties. To date, hybrid glasses have been used in a diverse range of applications including protective coatings, adhesion promoting films, ultra-low-k dielectrics, and optical waveguides. The successful integration of hybrid glasses requires that they possess sufficient mechanical properties to withstand often harsh processing and operating conditions. This dissertation presents results from several investigations of how molecular structure controls elastic and fracture properties of hybrid glasses. Two major sol-gel derived hybrid glass systems are discussed. The first is oxycarbosilane (OCS) glasses processed from small organosilane precursors. The second system is ZrOx/epoxysilane hybrids. For the OCS glasses, the primary focus of this work was to develop the capability to generate accurate molecular models of these materials and to simulate their mechanical properties using molecular dynamics as well as a novel fracture model that uses the mathematics of graph theory to predict the 3-D cohesive fracture path at the atomic scale. Using these computational tools, the impact of network connectivity on elastic stiffness and cohesive fracture energy has been elucidated. Also, the exceptionally high stiffness of OCS materials processed from 1,3,5-benzene precursors predicted by computational modeling is discussed. For the ZrOx/epoxysilane materials, linear elastic fracture mechanics experiments were done to characterize the fracture resistance of these glasses under monotonic, static, and cyclic loading conditions. The effects of glass composition, substrate composition, and silane crosslinking on the critical fracture energy were investigated. Additionally, plasticity-driven cyclic mechanical fatigue was observed, providing the first evidence of the importance of fatigue phenomena to hybrid glasses.

Download or read book Molecular Gels written by Richard G. Weiss and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2006-06-30 with total page 969 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Molecular Gels: Materials with Self-Assembled Fibrillar Networks" is a comprehensive treatise on gelators, especially low molecular-mass gelators and the properties of their gels. The structures and modes of formation of the self-assembled fibrillar networks (SAFINs) that immobilize the liquid components of the gels are discussed experimentally and theoretically. The spectroscopic, rheological, and structural features of the different classes of low molecular-mass gelators are also presented. Many examples of the application of the principal analytical techniques for investigation of molecular gels (including SANS, SAXS, WAXS, UV-vis absorption, fluorescence and CD spectroscopies, scanning electron, transmission electron and optical microscopies, and molecular modeling) are presented didactically and in-depth, as are several of the theories of the stages of aggregation of individual low molecular-mass gelator molecules leading to SAFINs. Several actual and potential applications of molecular gels in disparate fields (from silicate replication of nanostructures to art conservation) are described. Special emphasis is placed on perspectives for future developments. This book is an invaluable resource for researchers and practitioners either already researching self-assembly and soft matter or new to the area. Those who will find the book useful include chemists, engineers, spectroscopists, physicists, biologists, theoreticians, and materials scientists.
