The study of adsorbates physical chemistry on crystalline polymer
surfaces is described in this thesis for the first time. In this
work, is presented the interaction of water (adsorbate) with the
ferroelectric surface of the copolymer poly(vinylidene fluoride)
with trifluoroethylene. For more than 20 years adsorbates
interactions have concentrated on the studies of adsorbates on
metal, oxide or semiconducting material surfaces. Advances in
preparing crystalline polymer substrate surfaces, compatible with
ultra high vacuum techniques, makes this current novel effort
possible. Given the increasingly ubiquitous presence of polymers
and their applications in all venues of modern day life, such
studies are essential. This will be among the first serious
fundamental studies of the surface chemistry of a polymer, possible
because of the combination of spectroscopies we can bring to bear
on the problem together with the fact that it can be fabricated
crystalline polymer thin films as substrates for molecular
adsorption studies.
