Dynamic aspects of adsorbed polymer layers: Evidence of glass-like transitions
Measurements of the mass adsorbed of polymer layers adsorbed from dilute carbon tetrachloride solutions $(\approx$1.00 mg/mL) were made as a function of time using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy in the mode of attenuated total reflection. The general experimental approach involved …

The effects of concentration, interaction, size distribution and shape anisotropy on rheology of colloidal mixtures
… For this system we explore the impact of the polymer molecular weight on the dynamic arrest transition, linear elasticity, shear thickening, and yielding for both monomodal and bimodal particle size distributions. Data is reported showing a varied dynamic arrest transition volume fraction, …

Interface Effects and Deposition Process of Ionically Self-Assembled Monolayer Films: In Situ and Ex Situ Second Hamonic Generation Measurements
… (?(2)) of ionically self-assembled monolayer (ISAM) thin films. Conventional ISAM films are fabricated by alternately immersing a substrate into oppositely-charged polyelectrolyte solutions. The polyelectrolytes bind electrostatically to the oppositely-charged substrate, and thus reverse …

Statistical mechanical theory of structure and miscibility of polymer nanocomposites: Effects of density, filler shape, and chemical heterogeneity
… types of nanoparticles or fillers added to polymers to enhance the material properties, the Polymer Reference Site Interaction Model (PRISM) theory is applied to study the structure and miscibility of polymer nanocomposites (PNCs). Spherical fillers are studied in homopolymers of varying …
