The inter- and intra-molecular interactions as they evolve in the course of glassy solidification are studied by broadband dielectric-and Fourier-transform infrared-spectroscopy for oligomeric derivatives of poly(ethylene glycol) derivatives, namely, poly(ethylene glycol) phenyl ether acrylate and poly(ethylene glycol) dibenzoate in the bulk and under confinement in nanoporous silica having mean pore diameters 4, 6, and 8 nm, with native and silanized inner surfaces. Analyzing the spectral positions and the oscillator strengths of specific IR absorption bands and their temperature dependencies enables one to trace the changes in the intra-molecular potentials and to compare it with the dielectrically determined primarily inter-molecular dynamics. Special emphasis is given to the calorimetric glass transition temperature Tg and Tαβ ≈ 1.25Tg, where characteristic changes in conformation appear, and the secondary β-relaxation merges with the dynamic glass transition (α-relaxation). Furthermore, the impact of main chain conformations, inter- and intra-molecular hydrogen bonding, and nanometric confinement on the dynamic glass transition is unraveled. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
