The glass transition temperature (T g) of polymer thin films, one of the most important
parameters to characterize the relaxation behavior of polymer chains in a thin film, has been …

Herein, the desorption of the adsorbed chains (including two regions of flattened chains and
loosely adsorbed chains) was examined by monitoring the chain exchange kinetics between …

Recent studies suggest chain adsorption in the melt may be responsible for a number of
property changes in thin films by making correlations between the residual adsorbed layer …

The formation of the interfacial adhesion between an epoxy adhesive and a substrate was
normally accompanied by the epoxy curing process on the substrate. Although the debate …

Multidrug-resistant (MDR) pathogens have been a growing threat to human health over the
years. Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) with broad-spectrum antibiotic activity, as a promising …

Polyurethane potting compounds and sealants, widely used as encapsulating and protective
barriers, are usually applied to substrates after precoating substrate surfaces with primers …

In this research, sum frequency generation (SFG) vibrational spectroscopy, a surface and
interface specific technique, was used to study chemical interactions occurring at the buried …

Hypothesis Solid-state polymer adsorption offers a distinct approach for surface
modification. These ultrathin, so-called Guiselin layers can easily be obtained by placing a …

The interfacial strength of polystyrene (PS) with and without PS oligomers in contact with a
glass substrate was examined to determine the relationship between the interfacial …

Interfacial bonding strength of an epoxy-based adhesive depends on the interfacial
interaction between the adhesive and the substrate. Normally, the curing process at the …
