Semicrystalline Homopolymers and Block Copolymers at the Air/Water Interface and in Langmuir-Blodgett Films on Solid Supports (B07)

点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

We will investigate the crystallization of different polymers systems in Langmuir films at the air/water interface. We will focus on precision polymers with regularly spaced hydrophilic groups, poly(methacrylic acid) with different tacticity and poly(vinyl alcohol) with Hofmeister salts in the aqueous subphase using microscopic, infrared spectroscopic, and in-situ X-ray scattering techniques for characterization. Thermodynamic and kinetic models will be developed.
