    Notes: The quantification of oxygen and carbon in high-temperature (Tc) superconducting oxide thin films was made by employing elastic resonance in He backscattering analysis. A method combining the oxygen resonance technique and channeling was presented for measuring the nature of the oxygen disorder near the surface and the interface in a YBCO superconducting film grown on an MgO substrate. The oxygen resonance technique was used to quantify the oxygen profiling in the metal/YBCO contacts, showing that Zr and Nb act as sinks to oxygen from YBCO films and are oxidized in the forms Zr/ZrO2/YBCO/MgO and Nb0.2/YBCO/MgO after annealing in a vacuum at 350°C. We combined the carbon and oxygen resonances to determine the carbon contamination and oxygen concentration changes on the YBCO surface after coating and baking the photoresist. Residual carbon on the surface and a thin layer of oxygen depletion near the YBCO surface have been observed. The residual carbon in Bi2Sr2CaCu2O8 films made by the decomposition of metallo-organic precursors was quantified using carbon resonance.

    Notes: A pulse radiolysis study of isotactic polypropylene (PP) film has been carried out with the main aims of investigating charge trapping in an undoped system and solute radical ion generation in an pyrene (Py) doped matrix. In PP, pulse radiolysis gives electron-positive hole pairs. The electron can be stabilized in the undoped system as a trapped electron, et-. The transient absorption spectrum of et- in the near-IR (up to 1800 nm) was observed in the temperature range 30-100 K. This IR absorption was not detected in the case of oxidized PP. In such a matrix electrons can be scavenged by oxidation products generating respective radical-anions (absorption in the UV RANGE, λ 〈 350 nm). In a doped matrix transient absorption bands centered at 450 and 500 nm were observed which can be assigned to the Py radical cation and anion, respectively. The recombination of these ionic species leads to monomer excited-state formation observed during and after the 17 ns pulse. Contrary to the Py-doped polyethylene no excimer emission was detected at room temperature even if Py content in PP was close to 0.02 mol dm-3. The rate of Py radical-ion decay was found to be temperature dependent. Two linear parts of the Arrhenius plot were observed which intersected at ca. 240 K, the glass transition temperature, Tg, for PP. The activation energies calculated for two parts of Arrhenius plot were equal to 111 and ca. 0.78 kJ mol-1 for T 〉 Tg and T 〈 Tg, respectively. Some preliminary results concerning the ionic processes in PP containing two solutes (Py, 3,3′-dimethyldiphenyl) were presented. The mechanism of ionic recombination in PP will be proposed and discussed. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. J Polym Sci A: Polym Chem 36: 1217-1226, 1998

    Notes: The spectra of transients produced in pulse-irradiated pure poly(methyl methacrylate), PMMA, at room and ∼ 130 K temperatures were measured. The intermediates were identified as PMMA radicals and radical anions. In the pulse-irradiated PMMA-pyrene (Py) system the solute excited states and radical ions were produced. Scavenging of negative charges by Py was directly observed at 130 K in a µs time scale. Py fluorescence was found to be produced mainly as a result of Čerenkov photoexcitation. At room temperature, some contribution of ionic mechanism to Py fluorescence formation was found. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: A need exists for the development of totally biodegradable packaging materials. Chitosan is an under-utilized polymer which possesses many of the desired characteristics for this application. This article describes the crosslinking of chitosan fibers. Epichlorohydrin (ECH) was selected as a convenient base catalyzed crosslinking agent. The strength of chitosan fibers, especially wet tenacity, is improved by crosslinking. © 1992 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: A pulse radiolysis study of poly(methyl methacrylate) in the presence of pyrene has been carried out in the temperature range 100-295 K. The concentration of pyrene was changed from 10-3 to 10-1 mol dm-3. The absorption/emission spectra and kinetics of solute excited states and solute radical ions were investigated. It was found that pyrene excited states were formed as a result of their radical ion recombination in a time scale up to seconds. The decay of solute radical ions was influenced by photobleaching and can be described by a time-dependent rate constant. The activation energy of Py ions decay was temperature dependent and was equal to 35.7 and 1.2 kJ/mol for temperatures 〉Tγ and 〈Tγ, respectively, where Tγ ∼ 175 K represented the transition temperature responsible for γ-relaxation. The reaction mechanism was proposed. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. J Polym Sci A: Polym Chem 36: 1209-1215, 1998

    Notes: Rutherford backscattering spectrometry with a 2.1-meV He2+ion beam is used to measure the diffusion of iodine into polyamic acid and polyimide films. The iodine diffusion coefficient D decreases from its initial value of about 2X10-13cm2/s in polyamic acid to approximately 1.4 × 10-15cm2/s in partially cured polyimide, but then increases to a value of nearly 1.5 × 10-14 cm2/s in fully cured polyimide. This dramatic increase in D cannot be attributed to the “in-plane” biaxial orientation of the polyimide molecules since indential D's were found with isotropic specimens. Microvoids less than 2 nm in size caused by water and carbon dioxide formation during imidization may, however, give rise to the observed behavior. The results demonstrate that Rutherford backscattering spectrometry with its excellent depth resolution (better than 30 nm) and good sensitivity (50 ppm iodine can be detected) is very useful for measuring the diffusion of slowly diffusing species in glassy polymers.

    Notes: Ion beam technology may be applied in a straightforward fashion to the analysis and modification of biomaterials. For analytical purposes, characterization using megaelectron-volt He2+ ions provides a standardless, nondestructive means for accurately quantifying the composition of material surfaces and the thickness of thin films. In this study, three complementary ion backscattering techniques were utilized to characterize hydroxyapatite (HA) films: Rutherford backscattering spectrometry (RBS) can determine composition and amounts of elements heavier than He; forward recoil elastic spectrometry (FRES) can determine hydrogen content; resonance-enhanced RBS can quantify small amounts of light elements, e.g. carbon, by choosing a particular incident beam energy resulting in excitation of the light element nucleus. At this resonance energy, the scattering cross section greatly increases, improving elemental sensitivity. Sol-gel chemistry was used to synthesize HA films by spin coating and annealing in a rapid thermal processor. Using these techniques, the chemical composition of unfired films was Ca1.63O5.4H1.8C0.24P with a thickness of 3.01 × 10 18 atoms/cm2 and after firing at 800°C as Ca1.66O4.0H0.26C0.09P with a thickness of 2.11 × 1018 atoms/cm2. This compares favorably to stoichiometric HA, which has a composition of Ca1.67O4.33H0.33P. © 1996 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Description / Table of Contents: Kristallanteil, mittlere Dicke der Kristalle, Dickenverteilung der Kristalle, Dicke der amorphen Bereiche in LDPE folgen aus seiner Beschreibung als eutektoides Copolymer. Diese Kenntnis wird in ein van der Waals-Kristallnetzwerkmodell übernommen, welches die plastische Scherdeformation der Kristalle einschließt. Die Wiedergabe der Spannungs-Dehnungs-Kurven bei verschiedenen Temperaturen und der temperaturinduzierten Rückstellung führt zu einer Identifikation von Deformationsmechanismen in teilweise kristallisierten Polymeren.
    Notes: Crystallinity, mean crystal thickness, thickness distribution of crystal, and mean thickness of the amorphous layers in LDPE are deduced by treating it as a eutectoid copolymer. This knowledge is transferred into a van der Waals network theory which includes plastic shear deformation of crystals. The fit of stress-strain pattern at different temperatures and of temperature induced relaxation and shrinkage informs about the deformation mechanism in semicrystalline polymers.
