The rheological and mechanical properties of crosslinked polymer gels arise from the structure of the gel network. In turn, the structure of the gel network results from: thermodynamically determined interactions between the polymer chain segments, the interactions of the crosslinking metal ion with the polymer, and the deformation history of the network. Interpretations of mechanical and rheological measurements on polymer gels invariably begin with a conceptual model of,the microstructure of the gel network derived from polymer kinetic theory. In the present work, we use freeze-etch replication TEM to image the polymer network morphology of titanium crosslinked hydroxypropyl guars in an attempt to directly relate macroscopic phenomena with network structure.

Abstract Microstructure and its effect on mechanical behavior of ultrafine interconnects have been studied in this paper using a modeling approach. The microstructure from the processes of solidification, spinodal decomposition, and grain growth in ultrafine interconnects has highlighted its importance. The size, geometry and composition of interconnects as well as the elastic energy can influence microstructure and thus the mechanical behavior. Quantification of microstructure in ultrafine interconnects is a necessary step to establish the linkage between microstructure and reliability.
