Hole Growth Instability in the Dewetting of Evaporating Polymer Solution Films

December 1, 2002
Author(s)
Xiaohong Gu, D T. Raghavan, Jack F. Douglas, Alamgir Karim
We investigate the dewetting of aqueous, evaporating polymer [poly(acrylic acid)] solutions cast on hydrophobic (polystyrene) substrates. As with typical dewetting, the evaporating films initially break up through the nucleation of holes that perforate the

Surface and Interface Properties of PVDF/Acrylic Copolymer Blends

November 1, 2002
Author(s)
Xiaohong Gu, Tinh Nguyen, Mark R. VanLandingham, D Nguyen
Poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF) is commonly blended with amorphous polymers to improve its optical property. The surface and interface properties of PVDF blended with different amounts of poly(methyl methacrylate) and poly(ethyl acrylate) copolymer (PMMA

Effects of Crosslink Density on Surface and Interface Properties of Amine-Cured Epoxy

February 1, 2002
Author(s)
Xiaohong Gu, Tinh Nguyen, Mark R. VanLandingham, D T. Raghavan
The effect of network changes on the surface and interface properties of amine-cured epoxy has been investigated. Samples of different crosslinked epoxies are prepared by mixing stoichiometrically pure diglycidyl ether of bisphenol A (n=0.03) with

Nanocharacterization of Surface and Interface of Different Epoxy Networks

January 1, 2002
Author(s)
Xiaohong Gu, D T. Raghavan, D L. Ho, Li Piin Sung, Mark R. VanLandingham, Tinh Nguyen
The effect of network changes on the surface and interface properties of amine-cured epoxy has been investigated. Samples of different crosslinked epoxies are prepared by mixing stoichiometrically pure diglycidyl ether of bisphenol A (n=0.03) with

Nanomechanical Measurements of Polymeric Systems

March 13, 2001
Author(s)
Mark R. VanLandingham, Christopher C. White, Xiaohong Gu, Tinh Nguyen
Durability, in terms of service life, is often related to the failure due to service conditions of an unacceptable percentage of a product population. In many cases, this percentage is much less than 1 %, and thus the factors affecting early times-to

Characterization of Coating System Interphases with Phase Imaging AFM

February 1, 2001
Author(s)
Tinh Nguyen, Xiaohong Gu, Mark R. VanLandingham, M Giraud, R Dutruc-Rosset, R Ryntz, D Nguyen
The interphase between a polymer film and a substrate controls the adhesion and durability of a variety of polymeric systems including adhesives, coatings on plastics and metals, and electronic packaging. A polymeric coating system consists of a coating

Characterization of Coating System Interphases With Phase Imaging AFM.

February 1, 2001
Author(s)
Tinh Nguyen, Xiaohong Gu, M Giraud, M R. VanLandingham, R Dutruc-Rosset, R Ryntz, D Nguyen
The interphase between a polymer film and a substrate controls the adhesion and durability of a variety of polymeric systems including adhesives and coatings on plastics and metals. Interphase formation is affected by processing conditions that control

Characterization of Polyester Degradation Using Tapping Mode Atomic Force Microscopy

August 1, 2000
Author(s)
Xiaohong Gu, D T. Raghavan, Tinh Nguyen, Mark R. VanLandingham
Tapping mode AFM was used to examine the microstructure of polyester films before and after exposure to an alkaline solution. Bright-colored microgel domains and dark-colored interstitial regions were observed in phase images of the unexposed samples. The

C30 Self-Assemblied Monolayers on Silica, Titania, and Zirconia: HPLC Performance, Atomic Force Microscopy, Ellipsometry, and NMR Studies of Molecular Dynamcis and Uniformity of Coverage.

January 1, 2000
Author(s)
David L. VanderHart, Lane C. Sander, Xiaohong Gu, Tinh Nguyen, Stephen A. Wise, M Pursch, D A. Gajewski
C30 self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) have been prepared on zirconia, titania and two different silica gels by reacting C30 trichlorosilane with the humidified surfaces. 13 deg C solid-state NMR spectroscopy indicated higher alkyl chain order on titania and
