This book is intended to provide a fundamental basis for the study
of the interaction of polymers with living systems, biochemicals,
and with aqueous solutions. The surface chemistry and physics of
polymeric materials is a subject not normally covered to any
significant extent in classical surface chemistry textbooks. Many
of the assumptions of classical surface chemistry are invalid when
applied to polymer surfaces. Surface properties of polymers are
important in the development of medical devices and diagnostic
products. Surface properties are also of vital importance in fields
such as adhesion, paints and coatings, polymer-filler interactions,
heterogeneous catalysis, composites, and polymers for energy
generation. The book begins with a chapter considering the current
sources of information on polymer surface chemistry and physics. It
moves on to consider the question of the dynamics of polymer
surfaces and the implica tions of polymer surface dynamics on all
subsequent characterization and interfacial studies. Two chapters
are directed toward the question of model polymers for preparing
model surfaces and interfaces. Complete treatments of X-ray
photoelectron spectroscopy and attenuated total reflection infrared
spectroscopy are given. There is a detailed treatment of the
contact angle with particular emphasis on contact angle hysteresis
in aqueous systems, followed by chapters on interfacial
electrochemistry and interface acid-base charge-transfer
properties. The very difficult problem of block and graft copolymer
surfaces is also discussed. The problem of theoretical calculations
of surface and interfacial tensions is presented. Raman
spectroscopy is considered as an analytical technique for polymer
surface characterization."
