Characterization of Polymeric Surfaces and Interfaces
Abstract
The purpose of this project was to gain a fundamental understanding of the behavior of polymer molecules at surfaces and interphases so as to provide a basis for the design of these important properties. The first accomplishment completed was the development of a technique for the determination of interfacial tension of polymers by robust shape analysis of the profiles of molten polymer pendant drops. This technique was then applied to several materials systems: concentrated polymer solutions, miscible polymer blends, binary homopolymer immiscible blends, functionally terminated homopolymers.
