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

我们将研究不同聚合物体系在Langmuir薄膜中在空气/水界面的结晶。我们将重点关注具有规则间距亲水性基团的精密聚合物，具有不同战术性的聚（甲基丙烯酸）和在水相中具有霍夫迈斯特盐的聚（乙烯醇），使用显微镜，红外光谱和原位x射线散射技术进行表征。将建立热力学和动力学模型。

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.
