Engineering Research Equipment Grants: Fourier-Transform Raman Spectrometer

辛辛那提大学材料科学与工程系将购买一台傅里叶变换拉曼光谱仪，用于支持工程研究。该设备将用于几个研究项目，包括使用表面增强拉曼散射（SERS）来研究嵌段共聚物在金属基板上的吸附；非破坏性测定聚合物体系（如聚酰亚胺和厌氧丙烯酸粘合剂）和金属基体（如铜和金）之间的界面分子结构，石墨/PMR-15复合材料中聚酰亚胺基体在316>℃空气中老化过程中分子结构的变化；聚合物薄膜中的波导是先进光子材料的一个新领域，半柔性主链液晶聚合物的微观结构研究，以及化学气相沉积（CVD）中的中间体研究，CVD是一种广泛用于在各种衬底上生长重要薄膜和涂层的技术。

The Department of Materials Science and Engineering at the University of Cincinnati will purchase a Fourier-transform Raman spectrometer which will be dedicated to support research in engineering. The equipment will be used for several research projects, including use of surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) for investigating the adsorption of block copolymers onto metal substrates, the non-destructive determination of the molecular structure of interphase between polymer systems such as polyimides and anaerobic acrylic adhesives and metal substrates such as copper and gold, changes that occur in the molecular structure of the polyimides matrix in graphite/PMR-15 composites during aging in air at 316>C, waveguiding in polymer films as part of a new thrust area in advanced photonic materials, studies of the microstructure of semi-flexible main chain liquid crystalline polymers, and research on intermediates in chemical vapor deposition (CVD), a technique that is widely used for the growth of important thin films and coatings on a range of substrates.
