Polymer Brush Response to Solvent Flow
The presence of polymer chains grafted or adsorbed onto a surface can dramatically alter the forces that affect interactions between surfaces. The equilibrium properties of such polymer brush systems have been studied for the past two decades, yielding general agreement between theory and experiment. Conversely, the nonequilibrium properties of polymer brushes are still under intense theoretica...
متن کاملThe slowly formed Guiselin brush
– We study polymer layers formed by irreversible adsorption from a polymer melt. Our theory describes an experiment which is a “slow” version of that proposed by Guiselin (Europhys. Lett., 17 (1992) 225) who considered instantaneously irreversibly adsorbing chains and predicted a universal density profile of the layer after swelling with solvent to produce the “Guiselin brush”. Here we ask what...
متن کاملAggregation of monocarboxylic polymer chains by neutralization. Neutron and X ray scattering
2014 The aggregates obtained by the neutralization of a carboxylic single-ended polymer chain in organic solvent are studied. Neutron and X-ray small angle scattering are used for the characterisation of the aggregates and for the study of their structure as a function of concentration. J. Phys.

متن کاملNeutron Reflectivity and Grazing Angle Diffraction
Over the last 10 years, neutron reflectivity has emerged as a powerful technique for the investigation of surface and interfacial phenomena in many different fields. In this paper, a short review of some of the work on neutron reflectivity and grazing-angle diffraction as well as a description of the current and planned neutron rcflectometers at NIST is presented. Specific examples of the chara...
متن کاملMeasurement of molecular mixing at a conjugated polymer interface by specular and off-specular neutron scattering.
Measurements have been performed on thermally equilibrated conjugated-polymer/insulating-polymer bilayers, using specular and off-specular neutron reflectivity. While specular reflectivity is only sensitive to the structure normal to the sample, off-specular measurements can probe the structure of the buried polymer/polymer interface in the plane of the sample. Systematic analysis of the scatte...
