Using cation amino polysiloxane emulsion(ASE) and anion carboxyl polysiloxane emulsion (CSE) as materials, mixing ASE and CSE together to self-assemble or aggregate by electrostatic interaction, supramolecular compound emulsion (ASE-CSE) was formed. TEM and particle size analyzer observation showed that the particle of ASE-CSE is sphericity, and its particle diameter is bigger than that of mono-composition emulsion and has single-peak distribution. SEM, atomic force microscope (AFM) and other instruments detections indicated that the ASE-CSE possesses good form-film property. The ASE-CSE film on the silicon wafer is very rough. There are many islands or peaks package on the film surface. The average thickness of the film is 12.45nm, and it is about 7.1 times as against ASE. With the ASE-CSE film, the stripes or grooves on the fiber surface is weakened or disappeared. And the surface is smoother than that of the control sample. In addition, the contact angle of the cotton fabric treated by ASE-CSE is 86.5°. This reveals that the ASE-CSE film brings fiber fabric from hydrophile to hydrophobe.

Collagen films are widely used as adhesives in medicine and cosmetology. However, its properties require modification. In this work, the influence of salicin on the properties of collagen solution and films was studied. Collagen was extracted from silver carp skin. The rheological properties of collagen solutions with and without salicin were characterized by steady shear tests. Thin collagen films were prepared by solvent evaporation. The structure of films was researched using infrared spectroscopy. The surface properties of films were investigated using Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM). Mechanical properties were measured as well. It was found that the addition of salicin modified the roughness of collagen films and their mechanical and rheological properties. The above-mentioned parameters are very important in potential applications of collagen films containing salicin.

As the binder of waterborne inks, the capability of acrylic polymer has great influences on the quality of inks. In this contribution, structured latex particles with a poly (stryrene-butyl acrylate-methacrylate) core and a poly (butyl acrylate-methyl methacrylate-methacrylic acid-diacetone acrylamide (DAAM)) shell, which can be used as binders of water-based ink, were prepared by emulsion polymerization. The emulsion can cure in the course of film forming at ambient temperature through the reaction between DAAM and the adipic acid dihydrazide (ADH). Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), differential scanning calorimeter (DSC), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), atomic force microscopy (AFM) were used to characterize the structures and study the properties of the latices. The drying time of the crosslinking latices was investigated. In addition, influences of DAAM monomer dosage and the mole ratio of DAAM to ADH on the mechanical properties of self-crosslinkable core-shell latices were also discussed. It was found that the core-shell crosslinkable particles with a low glass transition temperature (Tg) core and a high Tg shell have better film properties and would be more applicable to binders of water-based ink for plastic film, in comparison with those particles with a high Tg core and a low Tg shell.

Abstract: An epoxy based nano-SiO2/TiO2/polyimide hybrid enhanced sizing for carbon fiber was prepared by modified SiO2/TiO2precursor in PAA collosol with silane couple agent(WD-50) and eligibility surfactant via sol-gel reaction, and both ultrasonic cavitation and multi-complex technology were used during the process. The properties of PAA-SiO2-TiO2hybrid sizing and micro-morphology of carbon fiber surface were analyzed by FTIR, DSC, Particle Size Analyzer and STM. The results indicated that nanoscale SiO2•TiO2particles dispersed in the hybrid sizing film homogeneously, and a layer with nano particles was formed on carbon fiber surface after treated by the hybrid enhanceing sizing. The roughness was increased and interface properties of carbon fiber would be improved. At the same time both tensile strength and the interlaminar shear strength were increased obviously.

In this study, self-assembled alternating film using poly(diallyldimethylammonium chloride) (PDDAC) and meso-tetrakis(4-carboxyphenyl)porphyrin (MTCP) was prepared as a multilayer deposition on glass substrate. This preparation technique for dye deposition may provide new feasibilities to achieve the manufacture of ultrathin films for nanotechnology application. The deposition films were characterized by UV-vis spectrophotometer and Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) analysis. The results of UV-vis spectra showed that the absorbance characteristic of the multilayer films linearly increased with an increased number of PDDAC and MTCP bilayers. AFM analysis showed the film surface was relatively uniform and the progressive growth of layers was determined.

Abstract In this article, the quaternary compound Cu2MSnS4 was prepared in a simple and inexpensive approach, where M is the iron (Fe) and zinc (Zn) atoms by the spin coating method on a glass substrate at room temperature (RT), as a result of replacing Zn atoms by Fe. Quaternary Cu2ZnSnS4 (CZTS) and Cu2FeSrS4 (CFTS) structural and optical properties have been studied successfully. The material has been identified by X-ray diffraction, and it was discovered that CZTS has a polycrystalline Tetragonal (kesterite) structure, whereas CFTS has a Tetragonal (stannite) structure. A reduction in the full width half maximum (FWHM) of the preferred plane implies a high degree of crystallization. The structural properties of the film surface, such as grain size and roughness, were studied by Atomic force microscopy (AFM). The results explain an increase in nanoparticle size and surface roughness when Fe is substituted by Zn in the CZTS structure. The absorption coefficient values of all designed compounds in visible regions are greater than 104/cm, and the results show that the absorbance coefficient increases with Fe add. The CZTS films showed an energy gap of 1.88 eV, and this value became 1.69 eV with substituted Fe instead of Zn.

Scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) and atomic force microscopy (AFM) investigation of tetracyanoquinodimethane (TCNQ) and the related C60-TCNQ thin films is presented. Periodic molecular chains of the TCNQ on highly oriented pyrolytic graphite (HOPG) substrates were imaged, which demonstrated that the crystalline (001) plane was parallel to the substrate. For the C60-TCNQ thin films, we found that there were grains on the film surface. STM images within the grain revealed that the well-ordered rows and terraces, and the parallel rows in different grains were generally not in the same orientation. Moreover, the grain boundary was also observed. In addition, AFM was employed to modify the organic TCNQ film surface for the application of this type of materials to information recording and storage at the nanometer scale. The nanometer holes were successfully created on the TCNQ thin film by the AFM.

Surface Morphologies

Surface wettability of a film plays a critical role in its practical applications. To control the surface wettability, modification on the physical surface structures has been a useful method. In this paper, we reported the controlling physical surface structure of polyvinyl butyral (PVB) films by different film-forming methods, spin-coating, bar-coating, and electrospinning. The wettability of these PVB films was examined, and the surface morphologies and roughness were investigated. The results indicated that coating PVB films were hydrophilic, while electrospun films were hydrophobic. The physical surface structure was the key role on the interesting transition of their surface wettability. Theoretical analyses on these results found that the coating PVB films showed different mechanism with electrospun ones. These results may help to find the way to control the PVB film surface wettability and then guide for applications.

In order to analyze the ageing mechanism of oil-paper, the Atomic Force Microscope (AFM), which is one of the important instruments in nanometer area, was used in this paper for the analysis of the micro surface morphology, and a 3-D surface roughness analysis on the AFM image was presented. The AFM figures indicates that the molecular arrangement of the initial cellulose paper is close and ordered, some of the hexagonal mesh structures of the D-glucopyranose units were broken down after 100 days accelerated thermal ageing. The roughness analysis indicates that he fiber surface roughness parameter Sa increases with the deepening of ageing degree. Special attention should be paid on the increase in the surface roughness of insulation paper, as it will aggravate the oil streaming electrification when the paper is applied to the power transformers.

Enhanced Raman Scattering

Spectroscopy based on surface enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) is widely used as a method with extremely high sensitivity for molecular and chemical analysis. We have developed thin-film sandwich structures, in which, when used as sensitive elements for detecting organic compounds at low concentrations, high-amplitude spectra of surface enhanced Raman scattering are observed. Using gas-phase cryochemical synthesis and thermal sputtering in vacuum, SERS active sandwich structures Ag–poly(chloro-p-xylylene)–Ag (Ag–PCPX–Ag) were obtained. In the process of creating sandwich structures, the upper silver film takes the form of a complex island topology with submicron sizes. A series of samples were made with different thicknesses of the polymer and upper silver layers. SERS spectra of the analyte chemically adsorbed on the film surface were obtained, demonstrating a significant amplification (up to 104) compared with the control sample. The dependence of the gain on the silver concentration is characterized by a maximum polymer layer thickness of 600 nm and a 30 nm thick upper silver layer. A selective amplification of the low molecular weight compound spectra with respect to proteins was observed. A semi-empirical model is proposed that is in good agreement with the experimental results.

This paper is focused on the processing of thermoplastic composite materials obtained from carbon fibers (CFs) treated by plasma assisted techniques. The treatments employed in this work were the Dielectric Barrier Discharge (DBD), which is done at atmospheric pressure, involving lower energies and the Plasma Immersion Ion Implantation (PIII), which is performed at low pressure, involving higher energies. After the treatments, samples characterizations were performed to determine which treatment is most effective to get better physico-chemical CF surface properties. The techniques employed in this work in order to evaluate the surface treatment were: scanning electron microscopy (SEM); atomic force microscopy (AFM) Raman spectroscopy and x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). Treated and untreated CFs/Polyphenylene sulfide (PPS) composites were processed by hot-compression molding technique. These composites were evaluated by interlaminar shear tests (ILSS). After analyzing the results, it was found that the treatments increased the CF roughness and caused slight changes in the CF structure. In addition, there was an increase in the shear strength of the composites obtained from treated fibers by both plasma processes. In conclusion, DBD and PIII treatments are effective tools for improving adhesion between CF and the polymeric matrix.
