Download or read book Living and Controlled Polymerization written by Joseph Jagur-Grodzinski and published by Nova Publishers. This book was released on 2006 with total page 398 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The living/controlled polymerisation techniques opened new vistas in polymer chemistry. The leading authorities in this field and its pioneers contributed chapters to this collective volume. The controlled polymerisation techniques have enabled preparation of polymers, copolymers, and block copolymers with predetermined molecular weights and narrow polydispersity, in which functional groups or biologically active molecules could be placed at well defined locations. They have also enabled preparation of advanced polymeric structures with precisely determined architectures and improved properties. Moreover, they have provided opportunities for preparation of novel polymeric materials from monomers, which before have not been suitable or accessible for such purposes. Properties of some of these polymeric materials may be significantly different from those of the existing ones. They provide opportunities for new applications. Several patents have already been approved for such speciality applications as, drug delivery, biocompatible surfaces, thermoplastic elastomers, moisture curable sealants, and so on. Many more products, based on polymers fabricated by the living/ controlled polymerisation techniques, will certainly emerge in such specialised areas as, nanotechnology, medical devices, "smart polymers", sensors , smart separation technologies, optical fibres and other optical applications, various biomaterials, etc.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Important contributions to our understanding of polymer surfaces rely very heavily on the development of new techniques for the study of those surfaces. The unifying aspect of the research described in this dissertation is the exploitation of advances in polymer surface characterization for purposes of elucidating surface behavior and properties. The results have implications for an interesting diversity of polymer science applications ranging from the design of superior latex films, to detection of trace components on surfaces, to the engineering of blend surface properties by varying chain molecular architecture. To design superior latex films it is important to connect mesoscale morphological features as well as adhesion properties of dried latex films to their macroscopic properties observable by eye. Using conventional scanning probe microscopy (SPM) probes, but exploiting in particular highly resolved adhesion mapping, dried latex films containing various fluorosurfactants, polymers, and cross-linking agents were studied. It was found that a complex that forms between the fluorosurfactant and a zinc cross-linking agent leads to mesoscale lateral phase separation. The presence of these lateral inhomogeneities correlates well with the poor performance on the macroscopic level. While conventional SPM techniques can analyze surface properties of samples, there is still a need for a non-invasive, robust imaging technology capable of simultaneously collecting topographic and chemical information with nanoscale resolution. This has been realized with tip enhanced Raman spectroscopy (TERS). Metallized probes are a key enabling component for this technique, which has the potential for high sensitivity detection and surface chemical imaging with very high (nm) resolution. However, the robustness of the metallized probes has been a hindrance to the application and commercialization of the technique. An ultrathin protective coating of aluminum oxide for the metallized probe was developed to extend the storage life of these probes to three months in a dessicator and to double the scanning life under harsh scanning conditions. These robust protected probes were then used to investigate the mechanism of "blinking" of the Raman signal. Results are consistent with the contention that thermal diffusion of molecules is the major mechanism behind blinking. Using the extreme enhancement from protected probes, individual species in an isotopically labeled polymer blend were detected for the first time using molecules that were not Raman resonant. TERS has limited potential for use with samples engineered to contain two species that have the same chemistry but differ in chain architecture, such as a blend of linear and cyclic polystyrenes. To quantify the surface composition of such a blend, a new mass spectrometry technique was developed. This technique, which we term surface layer matrix assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (SL-MALDI-TOF MS), has the ability to unambiguously identify species in the top molecular layer of a film with the same repeat chemistry as long as each species has a unique mass to charge ratio (m/z).

This book was released on 2006-04-11 with total page 316 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With the development in the 1960s of ultrahigh vacuum equipment and techniques and electron, X-ray, and ion beam techniques to determine the structure and composition of interfaces, activities in the field of surface science grew nearly exponentially. Today surface science impacts all major fields of study from physical to biological sciences, from physics to chemistry, and all engineering disciplines. The materials and phenomena characterized by surface science range from se- conductors, where the impact of surface science has been critical to progress, to metals and ceramics, where selected contributions have been important, to bio- terials, where contributions are just beginning to impact the field, to textiles, where the impact has been marginal. With such a range of fields and applications, questions about sample selection, preparation, treatment, and handling are difficult to cover completely in one review article or one chapter. Therefore, the editors of this book have assembled a range of experts with experience in the major fields impacted by surface characterization. It is the only book which treats the subject of sample handling, preparation, and treatment for surface characterization. It is full of tricks, cautions, and handy tips to make the laboratory scientist’s life easier. With respect to organization of the book, the topics range from discussion of vacuum to discussion of biological, organic, elemental or compound samples, to samples prepared ex situ or in situ to the vacuum, to deposition ofthin films. Generic considerations of sample preparation are also given.
