UV-excimer-laser ablation of polymethylmethacrylate at 248 nm: Characterization of incubation sites with Fourier transform IR- and UV-Spectroscopy

Ultraviolet and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopic experiments with thin films of polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) are reported. During the incubation with 248 nm excimer laser light or continuous (cw) UV light sources PMMA exhibits a rapidly increasing, broad UV absorption. This is caused by the production of unsaturated species, which are detected in the infrared spectrum of irradiated PMMA films. The spectral data explain the incubation process preceding the ablation of PMMA at 248 nm. Taking advantage of the increased UV absorption, cw light incubated PMMA films can be selectively ablated by standard 308 nm excimer laser pulses.     

Optical reflectivity study of silicon ion implanted poly(methyl methacrylate)

The optical reflectivity (both specular and off-specular) of poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) implanted with silicon ions (Si⁺) at energy of 50 keV, is studied in the spectral range 0.25-25 μm. The effect from the Si⁺ implantation on the reflectivity of two PMMA materials is examined in the dose range from 10¹⁴ to 10¹⁷ ions/cm² and is linked to the structure formed in this ion implanted plastic. As compared to the pristine PMMA, an enhancement of the reflectivity of Si⁺ implanted PMMA is observed, that is attributed to the modification of the subsurface region of PMMA upon the ion implantation. The ion-produced subsurface organic interface is also probed by laser-induced thermo-lens.     

Optimal design for extending the lifetime of thin film luminescent solar concentrators

This study is concerned with the enhancement of the molecular, weathering stability of two models of thin film luminescent solar concentrators (LSCs). Two model systems of thin film LSCs had been proposed; the first model consists of a transparent PMMA/SiO₂ nanohybrid layer coated on a coumarin doped PMMA substrate. The second model designed as the ordinary configuration in which coumarin dye is dissolved in PMMA/SiO₂ nanohybrid layer then coated on a transparent PMMA substrate. The effect of nanosilica concentration on the prepared models was studied by TEM, SEM, DSC, FT-IR, UV–vis absorption and indoor photodegradation test. The obtained results suggested the first model for a durable design of thin film LSC applications specially in hot regions.     

PMMA and FEP surface modifications induced with EUV pulses in two selected wavelength ranges

Surface modification of PMMA and FEP polymers using extreme ultraviolet (EUV) in two spectral ranges was investigated. A laser-plasma EUV source based on a double stream gas puff target equipped with an Au coated ellipsoidal collector was used for the experiment. The spectrum of the focused radiation from Kr plasma consisted of a narrow feature with a maximum at 10 nm and a long-wavelength tail up to 70 nm. Al and Zr filters were employed for the selection of radiation from these two spectral regions. The radiation fluences in the two cases were comparable. Polymer samples were mounted in the focal plane of the EUV collector and irradiated for 1–2 min with a 10 Hz repetition rate. Weak ablation accompanied by creation of micro- and nanostructures of different kinds was obtained in both cases. Significant differences in the surface structures after irradiation of PMMA and FEP in these two spectral regions were revealed.     

Influence of synchrotron radiation on morphological features of a polymethylmetacrilate thin film

The interaction of polymethylmetacrilate (PMMA) hard films with synchrotron radiation (SR) has been studied by atomic force microscopy (AFM). It has been found that the roughness changes from 1.85 to 2.98 nm with an increase in the irradiation time for the selected beam with the energy corresponding to the hard X-ray region λ = 0.2 nm. The roughness decreases from 6.41 to 2.36 nm with an increase in the irradiation time from 1 to 17 min when photons with a lower energy are used. The interaction of radiation with PMMA leads to the appearance of nanohillocks, the average diameter and height of which depend directly proportionally on the spectral composition and SR exposure time. The revealed effects of interaction of synchrotron radiation with PMMA will help to correct the X-ray lithography conditions in electron engineering (PMMA is the basis for X-ray resist) and will allow one to control the roughness degree of the PMMA surface that is the basis for intraocular lenses.     

Nonisothermal Crystallization Kinetics of Poly(Vinylidene Fluoride) in a Poly(Vinylidene Fluoride)/Poly(Methyl Methacrylate)/Dipropylene Glycol Dibenzoate System via Thermally Induced Phase Separation

The nonisothermal crystallization kinetics of poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF) in PVDF/polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA)/dipropylene glycol dibenzoate (DPGDB) blends, where DPGDB served as a diluent, via solid–liquid (S-L) phase separation during a thermally induced phase separation process was investigated through differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) measurements. It was found that the Ozawa model could only describe the nonisothermal crystallization behavior of PVDF/PMMA/DPGDB system to some extent. The influence of the cooling rate and PMMA/PVDF weight ratio in the PVDF/PMMA/DPGDB system on the crystallization mechanism was also examined based on the Avrami–Jeziorny method and Mo method. Primary crystallization and secondary crystallization were observed in the Avrami–Jeziorny analysis. The analysis by the Avrami–Jeziorny and Mo models indicated that the increase of PMMA/PVDF weight ratio decreased the crystallization rate during the primary crystallization stage. The results showed that the Mo method could well explain the kinetics of the primary PVDF crystallization. The Avrami–Jeziorny method, however, could not well describe the nonisothermal crystallization process of PVDF in the primary crystallization stage. The activation energy, determined by the Kissinger method, was not suitable to reflect the PVDF crystallization process in the PVDF/PMMA/DPGDB system.

Plasma effects in picosecond-femtosecond UV laser ablation of polymers

Laser ablation of polyimide (PI) and polymethyl-methacrylate (PMMA) at 248 nm with pulse lengths ranging from 200 fs to 200 ps was investigated. The measured ablation rates show minima for pulse lengths of about 5 ps (PMMA) or 50 ps (PI).The reflected fraction of the ablating laser pulse was measured as a function of the pulse length. In the case of PMMA maximum reflectance corresponds to a minimum ablation rate.This behavior can be explained by a dynamic plasma reflection model: A fast build up of a dense plasma is followed by high obscuration for a brief transition time and a self-regulating opacity for the rest of the pulse. This model of plasma mediated ablation leads to a ^1/4-dependence of the ablation rate at fixed fluence, which fits very well to the measured data, in particular if an extension to nanosecond ablation data of PI and PMMA is considered.

结晶PMMA/SAN共混体系的相容性和PMMA结晶行为的NMR研究

我们用固体NMR方法研究了SAN与结晶PMMA的相容性,并提出了可能的相容性机理;同时我们也研究了PMMA的结晶行为,发现它不同于SMA/PMMA中只存在少量结晶区的PMMA的行为.SAN/结晶PMMA是部分相容的体系,由于PMMA中的羰基与SAN中的苯基的相互吸引才导致共混物相容,且SAN只与无定形PMMA区相容,结晶区可用NMR方法检测到,这说明SAN/PMMA的相容性比SMA/PMMA差,主要原因是SAN与PMMA的相互作用弱于SMA与PMMA的相互作用.交替共聚利于相容.     

ABS ternary blends: Morphology,surface gloss,and mechanical properties

ABS/PMMA/PC (acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene)/poly(methyl methacrylate)/bisphenol A polycarbonate) and ABS/PMMA/phenoxy ternary blends were prepared using a corotating twin-screw extruder, where the ABS content was fixed at 60% by weight, and the other ingredients varied 0 ～ 40%. Tensile modulus, yield strength, elongation at break, and notched impact strength varied linearly with compositions in ABS/PMMA/phenoxy blends, whereas positive synergisms of these properties were generally obtained with ABS/PMMA/PC blends. The results were interpreted in terms of interpositions of PMMA between ABS and PC, which were seen from the TEM micrographs and predicted from the spreading coefficient. Surface gloss of ABS increased in ABS/ PMMA(60/40) blend but decreased in ternary blends, and this phenomenon was possibly explained by the pearl gloss mechanism.     

Polymethyl methacrylate glow under the influence of runaway electron beams generated in a gas diode

Spectral and amplitude–time characteristics of PMMA radiation under the impact of runaway electrons with subnanosecond duration are studied. The PMMA radiation spectra for a subnanosecond electron beam pulse duration are determined for the first time. The studies show that radiation of the band with a maximum at about 490 nm the intensity of which decreases toward the short-wave spectral region is recorded in the glow spectra. The glow intensity of this band varies proportionally to the number of electrons in the beam, which allows the possibility of using this radiation for determination of the number of high energy electrons in electron beams.

An insight into the interactions between LiN(CF3SO2)2 - γBL/DMF — PMMA by FTIR spectroscopy

FTIR spectroscopic analysis has been carried out for liquid electrolytes containing lithium —(trifluormethanesulfonimide or imide) salt as the ion source, a binary solvent composed of γBL and DMF and gel electrolytes containing PMMA. These studies illustrate that for all electrolytes, the cation (Li⁺) — solvent interaction is predominant and occurs through the carbonyl oxygen and the electron rich nitrogen atom of the solvating medium i.e., the binary solvent. Ionic conductivity trends upon varying lithium imide concentration, exhibit a single maximum in both liquid and gel polymeric electrolytes. The conductivity at 25 °C (σ₂₅) decline at high salt concentrations attributable to ion aggregation or cation-anion association, has been explained on the basis of detailed spectral analysis. Addition of PMMA as a gelatinizing agent to liquid electrolytes does not affect the conduction mechanism drastically, which is evident from conductivity measurements and is supplemented by spectral studies.     

Coating zinc oxide submicron crystals on poly(methyl methacrylate) chips and spheres via ultrasound irradiation

Ultrasound irradiation is used for anchoring zinc oxide submicron crystals with a main diameter and length of 280 nm and 470 nm, respectively, onto the surface of poly(methyl methacrylate) PMMA chips (2 mm diameter), and zinc oxide crystals with a mean diameter and length of 150 nm and 230 nm, respectively, onto the surface of the PMMA spheres (1–10 μm). The zinc oxide crystals were obtained by sonochemical irradiation of a mixture containing the PMMA, zinc (II) acetate dihydrate, ethanol, water, and 24 wt.% aqueous ammonia for 2 h, yielding a PMMA–zinc oxide composite. By controlling the atmosphere and reaction conditions, we could achieve well-adhered zinc oxide crystals on the surface of poly(methyl methacrylate). The resulting zinc oxide–PMMA composite was characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM), energy-dispersive X-ray analysis (EDX), high-resolution scanning electron microscopy (HRSEM), and photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy. The zinc oxide-deposited PMMA chips (loaded with 0.03–1.0 wt.% ZnO) were successfully homogenized in melt by extrusion and then injection molded into small, disc-shaped samples. These samples were analyzed with respect to their directional spectral optical properties in UV, Vis and IR spectroscopy.
