Book Polymer Brushes

Download or read book Polymer Brushes written by Rigoberto C. Advincula and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2006-03-06 with total page 501 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Materials scientists, polymer chemists, surface physicists and materials engineers will find this book a complete and detailed treatise on the field of polymer brushes, their synthesis, characterization and manifold applications. In a first section, the various synthetic pathways and different surface materials are introduced and explained, followed by a second section covering important aspects of characterization and analysis in both flat surfaces and particles. These specific surface initiated polymerization (SIP) systems such as linear polymers, homopolymers, block copolymers, and hyperbranched polymers are unique compared to previously reported systems by chemisorption or physisorption. They have found their way in both large-scale and miniature applications of polymer brushes, which is covered in the last section. Such 'hairy' surfaces offer fascinating opportunities for addressing numerous problems of both academic and, in particular, industrial interest: high-quality, functional or protective coatings, composite materials, surface engineered particles, metal-organic interfaces, biological applications, micro-patterning, colloids, nanoparticles, functional devices, and many more. It is the desire of the authors that this book will be of benefit to readers who want to "brush-up on polymers".

Book Spray assembly of Polyelectrolyte and Polyelectrolyte nanoparticle Films

Download or read book Spray assembly of Polyelectrolyte and Polyelectrolyte nanoparticle Films written by Zhiqiang Zheng and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page 177 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this dissertation Layer-by-Layer (LbL) polyelectrolyte and polyelectrolyte/ nanoparticle films were prepared using a number of different methods and were closely characterized. Firstly spray-assembled polyelectrolyte films were studied using Neutron Reflectivity and the results confirmed that stratified layers are formed. Thus, spray assembly of LbL-films is rapid and leads to high quality films. In addition, we studied the assembly of polyelectrolyte films by simultaneous spraying in collaboration with BASF AG.A second topic is the preparation of functional polyelectrolyte films using the example of spray-assembled lbL-films containing gold nanoparticles(Au NP). Compared to dip LbL deposition, spray assembly yielded Au NP multilayers in a fraction of the time. Additionally, it was found that with spray assembly the Au NP could be confined to individual horizontal strata without the need for additional treatment of the films as recently reported for a similar case1. It was also found that varying the sandwiched polymer layers controls the film's superposing roughness and thus the surface plasmon coupling between two adjacent Au NP layers.Thirdly, we established that even weak LbL-films can be mechanically protected by robust epoxy multilayers if the robust coating exceeds ≈10 nm in thickness.

  • Author : Yi Cheng

  • Release : 2013-03-18
  • ISBN : 0128090596
  • Pages : 33 pages

Download or read book Biofabrication written by Yi Cheng and published by Elsevier Inc. Chapters. This book was released on 2013-03-18 with total page 33 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Integrated circuits transformed our lives, and the potential for integrating biology with devices promises even greater transformations. A key question is how to effectively interface biological and microfabricated systems. Our approach is to “biofabricate” the biology-device interface using biological materials and mechanisms. Here, we review recent progress on three biofabrication approaches: the use of stimuli-responsive materials to recognize device-imposed electrical inputs to direct the assembly (i.e., to electrodeposit) of hydrogels; the use of enzymes to build structure by conjugating and crosslinking macromolecules; and the use of genetic techniques to engineer proteins for assembly. We further illustrate how these biofabrication approaches enable the biofunctionalization of previously fabricated microfluidic devices and suggest the potential for lab-on-chip analysis and the creation of experimental devices to study complex biological systems. We anticipate that the complementarity between biological and technological fabrication paradigms will provide broad opportunities to build structures that couple the power of electronics to the versatility of biology.
