We report the effect of annealing over a range of temperatures and times on the mixing, stability, and interfacial width in thin bilayer films of bisphenol A-polycarbonate (PC) on deuterated poly(methyl methacrylate) (dPMMA). These bilayer films were... Read More about Interface development in polycarbonate/poly(methyl methacrylate) bilayer films.

A diblock copolymer of polybutadiene and poly(ethylene oxide) has been spread at the interface between cyclohexane and water, and the properties of the capillary waves were determined by light scattering. As the concentration of block copolymer at th... Read More about Capillary wave properties of a spread film of a polybutadiene- poly(ethylene oxide) block copolymer: 2. Cyclohexane-water interface..

Capillary wave properties of a spread film of a polybutadiene- poly(ethylene oxide) block copolymer: 1. Air-water interface (2001)
Journal Article

A polybutacliene-poly(ethylene oxide) diblock copolymer has been spread at the air-water interface, and the surface pressure isotherm has been determined. Over the same concentration range, a spread film of polybutadiene exhibits no surface pressure...

Small-angle neutron scattering from single arm labeled polybutadiene star polymers in dilute solution (2001)
Journal Article
Hutchings, L., Richards, R., Reynolds, S., & Thompson, R. (2001). Small-angle neutron scattering from single arm labeled polybutadiene star polymers in dilute solution. Macromolecules, 34(16), 5571-5578

Dilute cyclohexane solutions of polybutadiene star polymers with 3, 4, 8, and 12 arms wherein one arm is perdeuterated have been investigated by small-angle neutron scattering. The scattering cross sections obtained showed a characteristic peak at fi... Read More about Small-angle neutron scattering from single arm labeled polybutadiene star polymers in dilute solution.

Partitioning of a heterotelechelic polystyrene to separate interfaces of thin films (2001)
Journal Article

Heteratelechelic deuteropolystyrenes have been synthesised with a tertiary amine functionality at one end and a fluorocarbon group at the other end of the polymer chain. A layer of this polymer. circa 120 Angstrom thick, has been attached to the surf... Read More about Partitioning of a heterotelechelic polystyrene to separate interfaces of thin films.

Neutron reflectivity studies at liquid-liquid interfaces: Methodology and analysis (2001)
Journal Article

A protocol is described for measuring and analyzing neutron reflectivity data from a buried oil-water interface. A hexadecane-water interface is considered, and data from the bare interface and from films of polybutadiene-poly(ethylene oxide) Linear...
