The aim of this thesis was to get a better understanding of the normal and lateral interactions of adsorbed diblock copolymer monolayers. The goal was to couple these interaction with the microscopic structural properties of the polymer layers. Therefore, two instruments were used, the Atomic Force Microscope (AFM) in order to analyze the microscopic morphology, and the Surface Forces Apparatus (SFA) to measure the interacting forces (normal and lateral) between two polymer monolayers. Furthermore, the AFM was also used as a spectroscopic method by obtaining force-distance profiles. ... Zie: Summary |
