AIT (U.S.) - CCNAA (Taiwan) Cooperative Research: Synthesisof Polymethylene Thin Films

这是由美国宾夕法尼亚州立大学David Allara博士和中科院化学研究所陶玉泰教授提出的为期一年的合作研究，由AUT(美国)-CCNAA(台湾)合作科学项目支持。本项目提出用红外光谱、X射线激发光电子和离子质谱仪等新方法研究聚乙烯界面的高分子链结构。这种方法是一种使用最先进技术的新方法。结晶聚合物成膜方案在粘接和表面改性方面具有重要的应用。Allara博士是台湾中科院化学研究所的物理化学家，陶博士在化学合成方面拥有专业知识。这种合作是互惠互利的，其结果可以促进我们对薄聚合物界面结构和相互作用的理解。

This is a one year cooperative study proposed by Dr. David Allara, the Pennsylvania State University, and Professor Yu-Tai Tao, Institute of Chemistry, Academia Sinica supported by the AUT (U.S.) - CCNAA (Taiwan) Cooperative Science Program. This project proposes to study the polymer chain structures at polyethylene interface using new methods of infrared spectroscopy, x-ray excited photoelectrons, and ion mass spectrometry. The approach is a new one using state of the art techniques. The scheme of crystalline polymer film formation has important applications for adhesion and surface modification. Dr. Allara is a physical chemist and Dr. Tao of the Institute of Chemistry, Academy of Sinica, Taiwan, has expertise in chemical synthesis. The collaboration is mutually beneficial and the results can advance our understanding of the structures and interactions of thin polymer interfaces.
