Poly(Dimethyl Siloxane) Films in Porous Media
نویسندگان
چکیده
Poly (Dimethyl siloxane) thin films were prepared by solvent evaporation method in porous alumina hosts. The thickness of these layers ranged from multilayer to sub-monolayer. Different NMR methods (FFC relaxometry, transverse relaxation, H Double quantum NMR) were applied to study the dynamics and order in these thin films. We found that dynamic restrictions and order increased with decreasing layer size. The increase of a short component of T2 from CPMG curves was attributed to the thawing of the adsorbed chains as seen in the decrease of the short component from Hahn echoes.

Patterning on nonplanar substrates: flexible honeycomb films from a range of self-assembling star copolymers.
The effect of glass transition temperature, Tg, on the self-assembly of "honeycomb" microstructures on nonplanar substrates was probed by the synthesis of a library of core cross-linked star polymers with different arm compositions. Star polymers based on poly(dimethyl siloxane), poly(ethyl acrylate), poly(methyl acrylate), poly(tert-butyl acrylate), and poly(methyl methacrylate) were synthesiz...
متن کاملNanocomposites of ZnS and poly-(dimethyl)-block-(phenyl)siloxane as a new high-refractive-index polymer media
In the present paper, we describe a new and original method to obtain transparent, siloxane-based composites, with high refractive index (up to 1.68). The method is based on the decomposition of Zn-siloxane, mixed with a poly-(dimethyl)-block-(phenyl)siloxane matrix in different ratios. It was found that after treatment of such mixed metal-containing polymer blend with H2S, the nanoparticles of...
متن کاملElectrospun polyurethane as an alternative ventricular catheter and in vitro model of shunt obstruction
Intracranial pressure and volume vary considerably between hydrocephalic patients, and with age, health and haemodynamic status; if left untreated, intracranial pressure rises and the ventricular system expands to accommodate the excess cerebrospinal fluid, with significant morbidity and mortality. Cerebrospinal fluid shunts in use today have a high incidence of failure with shunt obstruction b...
متن کاملEffect of ultraviolet/ozone treatment on the surface and bulk properties of poly(dimethyl siloxane) and poly(vinylmethyl siloxane) networks
We present a comparative study aiming at comprehending the effect of ultraviolet/ozone treatment on the modification of poly(dimethyl siloxane) (PDMS) and poly(vinylmethyl siloxane) (PVMS) silicone elastomers networks (SENs). Both PDMS and PVMS SENs undergo dramatic changes in their properties when exposed to UVO. The surface chemical composition of both PDMS and PVMS at long UVO treatment time...
