Polymer Surface Chemistry: Structure and Reactivity of Surface Segments and Oligomeric Chain Distributions From Model Systems to Novel Polymer Materials

在分析和表面化学项目的支持下，纽约州立大学布法罗分校的Gardella教授和他的团队正在研究各种模型聚合物体系的表面组成。利用一系列表面光谱探头，研究了有机硅和氟碳聚合物体系的组成、聚合物相对分子质量特征和表面反应动力学。对共聚物、聚合物共混物和聚合物/分子混合物进行了研究，目的是定量地了解表面结构和组成之间的关系，以及这些材料的反应性和性能。这个项目包括将研究与本科生和中学教师的教育相结合的广泛努力。了解聚合物和聚合物混合材料的组成和结构是分析和表面化学计划支持的这个研究项目的目标。从这些研究中获得的信息对聚合物材料在微电子、包装和制药中的应用是有用的。

With the support of the Analytical and Surface Chemistry Program, Professor Gardella and his group at the State University of New York at Buffalo are examining the surface composition of various model polymer systems. Using a range of surface spectroscopic probes, the composition, polymer molecular weight characteristics, and the surface reaction kinetics of siloxane- and fluorocarbon-based polymer systems are studied. Copolymers, polymer blends, and polymer/molecule mixtures are examined, with the goal of providing a quantitative understanding of the relationship between surface structure and composition, and the reactivity and properties of these materials. This project includes an extensive effort to integrate research with the education of undergraduate students and secondary school teachers.An understanding of the composition and structure of polymer and polymer blend materials is the goal of this research project supported in the Analytical and Surface Chemistry Program. Information obtained from these studies is useful in applications of polymer materials in microelectronics, packaging and pharmaceuticals.
