The Shape of a Stretched Polymer

Paolo De Los Rios, Salvatore Assenza, Alberto Stefano Sassi

The shape of a polymer plays an important role in determining its interactions with other molecules and with the environment, and is in turn affected by both of them. As a consequence, in the literature the shape properties of a chain in many different con ...

Adhesion and interfacial healing between supramolecular hybrid networks and glass substrates

Véronique Michaud, Federica Sordo

Adhesion towards glass and interfacial healing of partially supramolecular hybrid polymer networks featuring a range of H-bdnds content were investigated through two dedicated adhesion test methods. In a first series of tests, adhesion strength was measure ...

Mechanochemically Responsive Surfaces and Soft Tissue Adhesive Interfaces Generated via Controlled Radical Polymerization

Nariye Cavusoglu Ataman

Thin coatings applied to surfaces dramatically improve the properties of materials. Thus, they have found application in a broad variety of areas including biomedicine, nanotechnology, bioelectronics and optics, amongst others. Polymer brushes prepared via ...

Structure and rheology of star polymers in confined geometries: a mesoscopic simulation study

Dominic John Tildesley

Mesoscopic simulations of star polymer melts adsorbed onto solid surfaces are performed using the dissipative particle dynamics (DPD) method. A set of parameters is developed to study the low functionality star polymers under shear. The use of a new bond-a ...

Using the Stark effect to understand charge generation in organic solar cells

Jacques-Edouard Moser, Natalie Renuka Banerji, Jelissa Risse, Natalie Stingelin

We have used a femtosecond-resolved spectroscopic technique based on the Stark effect (electromodulated differential absorption) in order to investigate free charge generation and charge drift in solar cell devices of neat conjugated polymer pBTTT and in i ...

Light absorption in 1D and 2D nanostructured organic semiconductors

Damien Rolland

Organic photovoltaics will be one of the corner stones in solving the increasing world's energy demand issue. For this reason, a better understanding of the detailed mechanisms involved in energy conversion in the employed nanostructured materials is still ...

Postpolymerization Modification of Poly(glycidyl methacrylate) Brushes: An XPS Depth-Profiling Study

Harm-Anton Klok, Vincent Laporte, Raphaël Barbey

Surface-initiated polymerization represents a versatile strategy to modify a diverse range of materials with thin, functional polymer coatings. While in many cases the desired functional groups can be directly incorporated via (co)polymerization of the app ...
