ABSTRACTThe electronic and nuclear stopping effects produced by MeV ion bombardment in polyethylene (PE) and polyvinylidene chloride (PVDC) have been previously studied and reported. We have subsequently selected two other insulators: polystyrene (PS) and polyethersulfone (PES) which contains sulfur as a crosslinking agent, and irradiated them with MeV alpha particles. The electronic and nuclear effects of the incident ions were separated by stacking thin films of the polymers. A layered system was selected such that the first layers experienced most of the effects of the electronic energy deposited and the last layers received most of the effects of the nuclear stopping. The changes in the chemical structure were measured by residual gas analysis (RGA), Raman microprobe analysis, RBS and FTIR. The post-irradiation characterization resolved the effects of the stopping powers on the PS and PES and the results were compared with those from PE and PVDC.

AbstractThe electronic and nuclear stopping effects produced by MeV ion bombardment in polyvinylidine chloride (PVDC) and polyethylene (PE) are separated by stacking thin films of the polymers. The resulting multi-layer laminates of each polymer were bombarded with 3.5 MeV alpha particles. The energy of the incident ions was selected, using TRIM, such that the first layers experienced most of the effects of the electronic energy deposited and the last layers received most of the effects of the nuclear stopping power. The changes in the conductance and the chemical structure of each layer were measured by direct resistivity measurements and Raman microprobe analysis.

AbstractThe electronic (εe) and nuclear (εa) stopping effects produced by 3.5 MeV and 5.0 MeV ion bombardment in polyvinylidine chloride (PVDC), polyethylene (PE) and polyethylene sulfide were studied and compared. To separate these effects we chose two bombardment energies and a thin film polymer stacking technique developed in house. The resulting stacked layered system consisting of each polymer was bombarded with 3.5 MeV and 5.0 MeV alpha particles. The layered system was selected such that the first few layers experience most of the effects of the electronic energy deposited and the last layer receives the effects of the nuclear stopping. The electrical conductance and the changes in the chemical structure were measured by direct resistivity measurements, Raman microprobe analysis, RBS, and FTIR. The post-irradiation characterization resolved the effects of the stopping powers on the polymer films.

Novel chitosan-based adsorbent materials with a higher fatty diacid diglycidyl as the crosslinking agent were synthesized and the adsorption abilities of the resulting polymers evaluated towards typical acid dyes. The successful formation of a crosslinked structure was confirmed via infrared spectroscopic measurements and the solubility of the polymer towards 10% aqueous solutions of acetic and formic acids determined. At higher dye concentrations, the adsorption abilities of the crosslinked chitosan towards hydrophilic CI Acid Orange 7 and CI Acid Red 1 increased with decreasing degree of substitution. However, at lower dye concentrations, the crosslinked chitosan with the lowest degree of substitution exhibited the lowest adsorption capability. With such hydrophilic acid dyes, the extent of adsorption decreased significantly as the pH of the solution increased. On the other hand, CI Acid Red 138, which contains a dodecyl group in the chemical structure, was adsorbed to a considerable extent even at higher pH values, suggesting hydrophobic interaction between the alkyl group in the dye molecule and the hydrophobic crosslinker.

ABSTRACTWe study the composition, stress and structure variations across periodic surface undulations produced by pulsed laser illumination of semiconductors, by explosive crystallization of amorphous films, and by laser-assisted CVD. These variations are mapped out with a one micron spatial resolution using a Raman microprobe. Similarities and differences between the three cases are pointed out. These results are also compared to those obtained by deliberately exposing the sample to interfering beams.

A series of six polyurethane (PU) networks was synthesized from BoltornR hydroxy-functional hyperbranched polyester (HBP) of the second pseudo generation as a crosslinking agent, ?,?- dihydroxy-(ethylene oxide-poly(dimethylsiloxane)-ethylene oxide) (EO-PDMS-EO) and 4,4?- methylenediphenyl diisocyanate, by a two-step polymerization in solution. Each sample of the prepared PUs had different EO-PDMS-EO content. The chemical structure of the synthesized networks was analyzed by FTIR spectroscopy. The influence of the EO-PDMS-EO content and type of the solvent on the swelling behavior of the PUs in 2-propanol and toluene was investigated. During the swelling measurements certain amount of sol fractions was extracted from the PUs by solvents. According to the 1H NMR results, sol fractions are mainly composed of the soluble hyperbranched PU, formed during the polymerization by partial modification of the end hydroxyl groups of HBP with NCO-terminated prepolymer synthesized in the first step of the reaction. Chains of the so reacted prepolymer can then fold back and form cyclic products by reaction of the free -NCO group from the NCO-terminated prepolymer with free -OH group of HBP. As the EO-PDMS-EO content increases the amount of the sol fractions and swelling degree also increased, indicating that networks with lower EO-PDMS-EO content are more crosslinked and have higher solvent resistance.
