چکیده

We report surface rheological measurements on Langmuir films of submicron-sized polymer coils (pancakes). The dynamics of the sol phase is found to be governed by free volume as in the simplest percolation problem. The observed rheology of the percolated phase (gel-like) is compatible with predictions for compressed arrangements of highly deformed soft particles interacting through their contact interfaces.

Directed electrodeposition of polymer films using spatially controllable electric field gradients.

We report a method for the directed electrodeposition of polymer films in various patterns using spatially controllable electric field gradients. One- and two- dimensional surface electric field gradients were produced by applying different potential values at spatially distinct locations on an electrode surface. Variations in the resulting local electrochemical potentials were used to spatiall...

Submicrometric Films of Surface-Attached Polymer Network with Temperature-Responsive Properties.

Temperature-responsive properties of surface-attached poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAM) network films with well-controlled chemistry are investigated. The synthesis consists of cross-linking and grafting preformed ene-reactive polymer chains through thiol-ene click chemistry. The formation of surface-attached and cross-linked polymer films has the advantage of being well-controlled without a...

Rheological, thermal and tensile properties of PE/nanoclay nanocomposites and PE/nanoclay nanocomposite cast films

The effects of three different mixers, two different feeding orders and nanoclay content on the structure development and rheological properties of PE/nanoclay nanocomposite samples were investigated. Fractional Zener and Carreau–Yasuda models were applied to discuss the melt linear viscoelastic properties of the samples. Moreover, scaling law for fractal networks was used to quantify clay disp...

Three-dimensional colloidal crystal-assisted lithography for two-dimensional patterned arrays.

In this paper, we report our recent work on preparing two-dimensional patterned microstructure arrays using three-dimensional colloidal crystals as templates, namely, colloidal crystal-assisted lithography. Two alternative processes are described and involved in colloidal crystal-assisted lithography. One is based upon imprinting the polymer films with three-dimensional silica colloidal crystal...
