Polymers at Interfaces

Autor: G.J. Fleer, M.A. Cohen Stuart, J.M.H.M. Scheutjens, T. Cosgrove, B. Vincent

This book is concerned with the configuration of polymers at the interfacial zone between two other phases or immiscible components. In recent years, developments in technology combined with increased attention from specialists in a wide range of fie

We analytically calculate the gas-liquid critical endpoint (cep) for hard spheres with a Yukawa attraction. This cep is a boundary condition for the existence of a liquid. We use an analytical Helmholtz energy expression for the attractive Yukawa (ha

Phase separation in polymer blends is an important process. However, the compositions of the coexisting phases can only be predicted by numerical methods. We provide simple analytical expressions which serve as good approximations for the composition

The formation of soluble reversible coordination polymers with Zn2+ ions in aqueous solution was studied for two bifunctional ligands, differing in spacer length. Viscosity measurements were used to follow the formation of polymers as a function of t

We report experimental results for the wetting states of a melt of polystyrene in contact with a brush of polystyrene chains end-attached to a substrate. Wettability was assessed by monitoring the stability of an ultrathin film of the molten polymer;
