Molecular weight dependence and end-group effects on the surface tension of poly(dimethylsiloxane)
TL;DR: The surface tension of amine-, hydroxyl-, and methyl-terminated poly(dimethylsiloxane) oligomers with molecular weights ranging from 1000 to 75 000 were measured by pendant drop tensiometry as mentioned in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI
End Group Effects on Surface Properties of Polymers: Semiempirical Calculations and Comparison to Experimental Surface Tensions for α,ω-Functional Poly(dimethylsiloxanes)
TL;DR: In this article, the surface properties of polymers are calculated directly by assuming that the end group and repeat unit segments contribute to surface properties weighted by the composition in the lattice layer, which is immediately adjacent to the surface.
Journal ArticleDOI
Surface energy and surface composition of end-fluorinated polystyrene
Ralf Mason,Claire A. Jalbert,Patricia A. V. O'Rourke Muisener,Jeffrey T. Koberstein,Jeffrey T. Koberstein,James F. Elman,Timothy Edward Long,Binnur Z. Gunesin +7 more
TL;DR: In this paper, contact angle analysis was applied to characterize the compositions, surface enrichment and surface energies for a homologous series of fluorosilane-terminated polystyrenes (PS-F) ranging from 5300 to 148,000 g/mol in molecular weight.
Journal ArticleDOI
Measurement and Modeling of End Group Concentration Depth Profiles for ω-Fluorosilane Polystyrene and Its Blends
Patricia A. V. O'Rourke Muisener,Claire A. Jalbert,Caigen Yuan,John P. Baetzold,Ralf Mason,Derek Wong,Young Jun Kim,Jeffrey T. Koberstein,Binnur Zeynep Gunesin +8 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a self-consistent mean-field lattice theory is developed to model the surface structure and properties of blends containing end-functional polymers, and the lattice model calculations provide estimates of concentration depth profiles as a function of the blend composition.
Journal ArticleDOI
Surface Dynamics of Polymer Glasses: Sub-Tg Surface Reorganization in End-Functional Polymers
TL;DR: In this paper, a dynamic water contact angle analysis is applied to characterize the surface reorganization of glassy polystyrenes (PS), terminated with either a fluorosilane or carboxylic acid end group, upon exposure to an atmosphere of saturated water vapor.
