Semicrystalline Homopolymers and Block Copolymers at the Air/Water Interface and in Langmuir-Blodgett Films on Solid Supports
(B07)
Subject Area
Preparatory and Physical Chemistry of Polymers
Term
from 2011 to 2023
Project identifier
Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) - Project number 189853844
We will investigate the crystallization of different polymers systems in Langmuir films at the air/water interface. We will focus on precision polymers with regularly spaced hydrophilic groups, poly(methacrylic acid) with different tacticity and poly(vinyl alcohol) with Hofmeister salts in the aqueous subphase using microscopic, infrared spectroscopic, and in-situ X-ray scattering techniques for characterization. Thermodynamic and kinetic models will be developed.
