Report on 1992/1993 activities
Over the past several years, at least four different techniques have been developed for probing the behavior of homopolymers and block copolymers at surfaces and interfaces. These include neutron reflectivity, grazing incidence x-ray scattering, dynamic secondan, ion mass spectrometry and electron microscopy. In the upcoming year It is proposed to make key uses of these developments to gain a quantitative understanding of the Interfacial behavior of homopolymers and block copolymers. In addition, the newly discovered lower disorder to order phase transition will be investigated further, is the role a surface or an interface plays in influencing the structure and segmental distribution of polymers in the vicinity of an interface. These areas are outlined below.
