Ordering phenomena in thin polystyrene films

Ordering of polystyrene (PS) molecules in thin films collapsed from toluene solutions onto a glass substrate by dip coating is studied in relation to the polymer molecular weight and its distribution. The degree of ordering of chain elements is deduced from measurements of film birefringence, between the normal and parallel directions to the film surface, as a function of film thickness. A technique has been developed for measuring this birefringence by monitoring the intensity of laser light passing through the film, as a function of the angle of incidence. Films of monodisperse low-molecular-weight PS exhibit high ordering very close to the substrate, but this ordering decays within 1 μm from the glass surface. Films of monodisperse high-molecular-weight PS, on the other hand, exhibit a much smaller, but very long-range degree of order. In a blend of PS of these two molecular weights, as well as in a polydisperse sample, these effects appear in tandem. The long-range ordering effect, evident in the 100,000 molecular weight polystyrene films, is much smaller in magnitude in lower-molecular-weight films, reflecting probably the importance of chain entanglements.     

Growth of organic n-conductors on thin polymer films for use in organic field effect transistors

Thin films of different polymers - poly(styrene) (PS), poly(methylmethacrylate) (PMMA), poly(vinylcarbazole) (PVCz), poly(vinylchloride) (PVC) and poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF) - were deposited by spin-coating or by vapor deposition. On these polymers, thin films of (hexadecafluorophthalocyaninato)-oxovanadium (F₁₆PcVO) were prepared by physical vapor deposition. The growth of these films was monitored in situ by optical spectroscopy. The optical absorbance spectra were analyzed based on the coupling of transition dipoles to obtain information on the intermolecular arrangement of chromophores in the films. In all of these samples, the molecules are oriented with their molecular plane preferentially perpendicular to the substrate surface. This gives the desired overlap of the π-systems for electric conductance parallel to the substrate. Differences in the interactions were detected when deposition temperatures below or above the glass transition temperature of a given polymer were compared. The morphology of the polymer films and the deposited semiconductors were investigated by atomic force microscopy and scanning electron microscopy. The influence of the chosen substrate on the film structure is determined. The optical and electric properties of the films could thereby be influenced and the applicability of such films as active layers in organic thin film transistors is discussed.     

Photoactive additives for cross-linking polymer films: Inhibition of dewetting in thin polymer films

In this report, we describe a versatile photochemical method for cross-linking polymer films and demonstrate that this method can be used to inhibit thin polymer films from dewetting. A bifunctional photoactive molecule featuring two benzophenone chromophores capable of abstracting hydrogen atoms from various donors, including C-H groups, is mixed into PS films. Upon exposure to UV light, the bis-benzophenone molecule cross-links the chains presumably by hydrogen abstraction followed by radical recombination. Photoinduced cross-linking is characterized by infrared spectroscopy and gel permeation chromatography. Optical and atomic force microscopy images show that photocrosslinked polystyrene (PS) thin films resist dewetting when heated above the glass transition temperature or exposed to solvent vapor. PS films are inhibited from dewetting on both solid and liquid substrates. The effectiveness of the method to inhibit dewetting is studied as a function of the ratio of cross-linker to macromolecule, duration of exposure to UV light, film thickness, the driving force for dewetting, and the thermodynamic nature of the substrate.

Interfacial reactions of nickel ion containing multilayers and nickel ultra‐thin films with an interpenetrating polymer network substrate

An interpenetrating polymer network (IPN) substrate was prepared by dip‐pulling a silicon wafer or glass plate into polymer precursors, followed by solidification at room temperature. The nickel ion containing Langmuir–Blodgett (LB) multilayers was subsequently fabricated onto the IPN substrate by a LB technique, and then the nickel ultra‐thin films were deposited by chemical reduction. The interfacial reactions, the metal transformations and the non‐metal bond types during the film formation were detected by the X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy, atomic force microscope and attenuated total reflection infrared spectroscopy.

Direct observation of nanoparticle embedding into the surface of a polymer melt

Direct embedding of metal nanoparticles (NPs) into the surface of a polymer melt is observed by TEM and a new embedding mechanism proposed. Upon annealing above the glass transition temperature of polystyrene (PS), NPs (20 nm gold) are rapidly covered by a thin PS wetting layer, h* approximately 1.3-1.8 nm (i.e., about two or three monomers). Because it creates capillary pressure on a NP, this "universal" wetting layer is proposed to be responsible for NP embedding. The value of h* is independent of the molecular weight of PS and constant during the embedding process. The value of h* is found to be similar to the equilibrium wetting layer thickness of a polymer melt spreading on a metal substrate. Using a model that includes the spreading coefficient, long-range van der Waals interactions, and a chain-stretching penalty, h* is shown to be independent of the molecular weight of the polymer. Using this model and the measured value of h*, the interfacial energy between Au NP and PS is estimated to be 8.7 J/m2.     

PM-IRRAS spectroscopy for the characterization of polymer nanofilms: chains conformation,anisotropy and crystallinity

This paper is focused on the use of the Polarization-Modulation Infrared Reflection-Absorption Spectroscopy (PM-IRRAS) for studying thin polymer films at interfaces. When forming a polymer film on a metallic substrate, for instance by spin-coating, the characterization of the polymeric layer becomes very difficult given the small amount of matter deposited and also because of the contact with the metal. Among the techniques well adapted to surface and interface analyses, the PM-IRRAS spectroscopy represents an excellent tool to probe ultra-thin films. Different systems have been selected in this study such as polyamides (PA) and ethylene-co-vinyl acetate (EVA) nanofilms spin-coated onto chemically controlled surfaces (i.e. thiol self-assembled monloayers grafted onto gold coated glass slides). PM-IRRAS spectroscopy allowed us to characterize the polymer anisotropy (chains orientation and conformation), to suggest a model for chain organization at the polymer/substrate interface, and to calculate the orientation angles. Moreover, we were able to determine, by using PM-IRRAS, the degree of crystallinity of PA and EVA films of nanometric dimensions without any calibration procedure needed by other techniques.     

基底界面效应对聚苯乙烯薄膜分子运动行为的影响

本文研究了Si／Si02、Si／Si—H基底与聚苯乙烯（Ps）之间的界面相互作用对Ps薄膜的玻璃化转变及相关力学性能的影响．结果显示,无论何种基底,Ps薄膜的玻璃化转变温度（L）都随其厚度降低而降低．但相同厚度（〈110nm）下,以Si／Si-H为基底时Ps薄膜的瓦比以Si／Si02为基底的PS薄膜高．Si／Si02表面Ps薄膜疋开始下降的临界厚度为110nm,远高于以Si／Si—H为基底时的40nm．对Ps薄膜的膨胀系数和弹性模量进行研究,也得到相似的临界厚度．另外,与Si／Si02基底相比,在Si／Si-H上的Ps薄膜具有更低的膨胀系数以及较高弹性模量．可能原因是Si／Si-H与Ps具有较强的相互作用,限制了该界面分子的运动能力,导致基底／PS界面效应对薄膜分子运动的影响力增强,造成该薄膜瓦的厚度依赖性下降,并呈现出相对较硬的力学特征．
