Book Description
Plasma Polymer Films examines the current status of the deposition and characterization of fluorocarbon-, hydrocarbon- and silicon-containing plasma polymer films and nanocomposites, with plasma polymer matrix. It introduces plasma polymerization process diagnostics such as optical emission spectroscopy (OES, AOES), and describes special deposition techniques such as atmospheric pressure glow discharge. Important issues for applications such as degradation and stability are treated in detail, and structural characterization, basic electrical and optical properties and biomedical applications are discussed./a

Book Description
Very thin film materials have emerged as a highly interesting and useful quasi 2D-state functionality. They have given rise to numerous applications ranging from protective and smart coatings to electronics, sensors and display technology as well as serving biological, analytical and medical purposes. The tailoring of polymer film properties and functions has become a major research field. As opposed to the traditional treatise on polymer and resin-based coatings, this one-stop reference is the first to give readers a comprehensive view of the latest macromolecular and supramolecular film-based nanotechnology. Bringing together all the important facets and state-of-the-art research, the two well-structured volumes cover film assembly and depostion, functionality and patterning, and analysis and characterization. The result is an in-depth understanding of the phenomena, ordering, scale effects, fabrication, and analysis of polymer ultrathin films. This book will be a valuable addition for Materials Scientists, Polymer Chemists, Surface Scientists, Bioengineers, Coatings Specialists, Chemical Engineers, and Scientists working in this important research field and industry.

Book Description
The fabrication and characterization of highly-ordered thin films made from an amphiphilic, regioregular (RR) polythiophene (PT) derivative are described. The effects of structural conformation and order on materials properties and reactivity are discussed. High optical quality films of poly(3-(11-(2-tetrahydropyranyloxy)undecyl)thiophene) (PTHPUDT) were prepared by the Langmuir-Blodgett (LB) technique. The amphiphilic nature of the polymer affords layer-by-layer deposition and the formation of multilayer films of head-to-head and Tail-to-tail, Y-type structure. X-ray diffraction (XRD) studies indicate the formation of a semi-crystalline film with bilayer separations of 3̃0 Å. Anisotropic optical absorption in the plane of the film signify that the thiophene backbones are preferentially oriented along the dipping direction. Further, polarized light microscopy studies reveal that these films are highly birefringent. The nonlinear optical properties of PTHPUDT films were explored. Optical second harmonic generation (SHG) studies of multilayer films provide information regarding both the thiophene orientation within the film and the anisotropic distribution of chromophores in the surface plane. The third order nonlinear optical response of the polymer films was probed using z-scan methods. Analysis of the resulting z-scan data yielded values consistent with previous studies on PT-based polymer systems. However, even with relatively low intensities incident on pristine PTHPUDT polymer films, the required power to achieve a nonlinear response in the film is sufficient to produce photoinduced changes in the original polymer. Although our observations pertain specifically to PTHPUDT, our results may extend to the broader class of PT-based materials more generally. These observations put into question whether the nonlinear optical susceptibility values of PT-based materials currently being reported in the literature result from pristine polymers or from their photoconverted products. The chemistry occurring in the ordered films was examined. Large differences in both the thermal reactivity (thermochromism) and physical properties (solvatochromism) of the films were observed after heat-treatment. Taken together, this data offers strong evidence of highly-ordered films. As such, PTHPUDT is a model polymer system with potential of elucidating the connection between polymer morphology and physical properties in materials that are otherwise subject to a sufficiently complex distribution of morphologies that such a correspondence is precluded.
