Structure and local properties of polymers in contact with ideal surfaces (B02)

该项目的目的是实验和理论表征和理解的结构，构象，和电子性质的聚合物链接触明确的表面。通过扫描隧道显微镜、光谱学和电喷雾聚合物沉积相结合的方法，实验研究了单个聚合物段长度尺度上的局部性质。它是由从头算结构和电子性能的补充，以阐明聚合物-聚合物和聚合物-表面相互作用之间的竞争作为结构驱动力。

The project aims are the experimental and theoretical characterization and understanding of structure, conformation, and electronic properties of polymer chains in contact with well-defined surfaces. By combination of scanning tunnel microscopy and spectroscopy with electrospray polymer deposition, it focuses experimentally on the local properties on the length scale of a single polymer segment. It is complemented by ab-initio calculations of structural and electronic properties to elucidate the competition between polymer-polymer and polymer-surface interactions as structural driving forces.
