All that was said so far about passivity and passivation was indeed based on electrochemical prejudgments, and all based on unverified postulates. However, due the authors’ fame and for lack of anything better, the great many contradictions were carefully ignored. However, when resuming from raw experimental facts and the present general knowledge, it now appears that passivation always begins by the precipitation of a metallic hydroxide gel. Therefore, all the protectiveness mechanisms already known for porous corrosion layers apply, so that this outstanding protectiveness is indeed governed by the chemistry of transport processes throughout the entrapped water. For Al type passivation, the base metal ions only have deep and complete electronic shells, which precludes any electronic conductivity. Then protectiveness can only arise from gel thickening and densification. For Fe type passivation, an incomplete shell of superficial 3d electrons allows an early metallic or semimetallic conductivity in the gel skeleton, at the onset of the very first perfectly ordered inorganic polymers (- MII-O-MIII-O-)n. Then all depends on the acquisition, maintenance or loss of a sufficient electrical conductivity in this Faraday cage. But for both types of passive layers, all the known features can be explained by the chemistry of transport processes, with neither exception nor contradiction.

ABSTRACTPoly (methylphenylphosphazene) (PMPP) is an example of a unique class of inorganic polymers with alternating – (P=N)– backbones. Chemical modification of bulk PMPP can result in changes of physical properties such as chemical resistance, onset temperature of thermal degradation, elasticity, and flexibility. Surface modification of PMPP allows tailoring of the chemical properties at the polymer interface while maintaining the integrity of the bulk polymer. In this research, PMPP thin films were treated to form carboxylate or carboxylic acid groups at the surface. Surface modification was monitored by following changes in contact angle. The hydrophobic/hydrophilic interactions of carboxylated PMPP surfaces allow for mesoscale interactions of thin polymer films.

ABSTRACTSolution and solid state Magic Angle Spinning (MAS) Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) spectroscopy have been used to monitor the 31P signal of cyclic phosphazenes and associated linear polymers in solution and of these materials bound to alumina in stabilized dispersions. The differences between the simple solution experiments and the suspensions are being studied to determine the viability of NMR techniques to probe the chemical interactions between inorganic polymer dispersants and alumina particles. It has been observed in colloidal suspensions that the adsorption of phosphazenes onto an aluminum oxide surface causes a broadening of the 31P signal in solution NMR. This broadening is dependant on the amount of solid to polymer concentration, the amount of solids loading, the solvent polarity and the phosphazene substituent under investigation [1]. Conversely, the solid MAS experiments show a narrowing of the 31P signal upon adsorption of the phosphazene to alumina.
