Pore size distributions in nanoporous methyl silsesquioxane films as determined by small angle x-ray scattering
نویسندگان
چکیده
Small angle x-ray scattering ~SAXS! measurements were performed on nanoporous methyl silsesquioxane films that were generated by the incorporation of a sacrificial polymeric component into the matrix and subsequently removed by thermolysis. The average pore radii ranged from 1 to 5 nm over a porosity range of ;5–50%. The distribution in pore size was relatively broad and increases in breadth with porosity. The values and observations obtained by SAXS are in good agreement with field emission scanning electron microscopy. © 2002 American Institute of Physics. @DOI: 10.1063/1.1507841#

A New Small Angle X-ray Scattering Technique for Determining Nano-scale Pore/particle Size Distributions in Thin Film
We have developed a new Small Angle X-ray Scattering (SAXS) technique by use of reflection geometry for determining particle / pore size distribution in thin film. In order to avoid strong specular reflection, we used offset scan (2θ / θ+δθ) for measuring scattering data. To deal with reflection and refraction at surface and interfaces, we calculated X-ray wave field in the film based on Distor...

The aim of this work is to probe the influence of nanoclay and turmeric spends content on microcrystalline of vinyl ester hybrid nanocomposites. A series of vinyl ester hybrid nanocomposites have been fabricated with varying amounts of TS viz., 0, 2.5, 5, 7.5 and 10 % w/w along with 2% nanoclay. The microcrystalline parameters such as crystallite size and lattice strain of vinyl ester hybrid na...
متن کاملCharacterization of pore structure in a nanoporous low-dielectric-constant thin film by neutron porosimetry and X-ray porosimetry.
A small-angle neutron scattering (SANS) porosimetry technique is presented for characterization of pore structure in nanoporous thin films. The technique is applied to characterize a spin-on organosilicate low dielectric constant (low-k) material with a random pore structure. Porosimetry experiments are conducted using a "contrast match" solvent (a mixture of toluene-d8 and toluene-h8) having t...
متن کاملSelf-supported particle-track-etched polycarbonate membranes as templates for cylindrical polypyrrole nanotubes and nanowires: an X-ray scattering and scanning force microscopy investigation.
Self-supported particle-track-etched polycarbonate membranes with nearly perfect cylindrical pores are used for the preparation of similarly perfect cylindrical polypyrrole nanowires and nanotubes. A complete investigation of the structural properties that result at different stages of the preparation route of polypyrrole nanowires and nanotubes is based on a combination of real and reciprocal ...
