AFM/FTIR: A New Technique for Materials Characterization

A new type of infrared spectroscopy for obtaining the molecular composition of the surfaces of materials at ultra-high spatial resolution has been developed by combining atomic force microscopy (AFM) with Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). This new analytical technique involves the use of an AFM to detect the response of a material to the absorption of modulated infrared radiation from an FTIR spectrometer and is referred to as AFM/FTIR spectroscopy. When the technique of AFM/FTIR spectroscopy is completely developed, we plan to use it to probe the molecular structure of interphases in polymer composites and adhesive bonds. Two approaches have been used to measure the response of polymer systems to infrared absorption. The first involves the use of a contact mode AFM probe to measure the thermal expansion of the polymer; the second involves using a scanning thermal microscopy (SThM) probe to measure the polymer's temperature increase. In either case, the output of the probe resembles an interferogram to which a Fourier-transform can be applied to obtain the infrared absorption spectrum. The first approach was used to obtain excellent quality AFM/FTIR spectra from various neat polymer films, including polystyrene, polycarbonate, and a model adhesive system consisting of an epoxy resin cross-linked with dicyandiamide. Excellent spectra were also obtained from polystyrene beads having a diameter of about 2 µm. The second approach, using an SThM probe to determine the temperature increase that accompanies infrared absorption, was also used to obtain interferograms of polymer samples such as polystyrene. However, the interferograms were noisy and the AFM/FTIR spectra obtained from them had a low signal-to-noise ratio. The present results, thus, show that AFM/FTIR spectroscopy is feasible but the spatial resolution of the technique remains to be shown.     

Graphene-induced crystallinity of bisphenol A polycarbonate in the presence of supercritical carbon dioxide

Changes in the crystallinity of polycarbonate (PC) induced by the simultaneous presence of 0.5 wt% graphene nanoplatelets (GnP) and supercritical carbon dioxide (sc-CO₂) were examined by means of Raman spectroscopy, WAXS, SAXS and DSC. Composites were prepared by melt-mixing, compression-molding and dissolving sc-CO₂ at high pressure and temperature. It was found that dissolved CO₂ induced the formation of an ordered non-crystalline phase in PC during slow cooling under pressure. A fast depressurization and cooling did not cause such an effect in the resultant foams. GnP induced a higher crystallinity in PC, especially when combined with sc-CO₂, even during fast depressurization and cooling. Raman spectroscopy enabled to correlate changes in the PC vibration modes with the presence of ordered phases, as well as to detect interactions between GnP and PC. Additionally, evidence of GnP exfoliation in the composites could be explained by the intensity reduction of the (002) graphite diffraction peak.     

Electrodeposition of cobalt based ferro-magnetic metal nanowires in polycarbonate films with cylindrical nanochannels fabricated by heavy-ion-track etching

Polycarbonate films of thickness 30 μm were irradiated with heavy ions by applying a flux of 10⁸ ions cm⁻² to produce straight tracks perpendicular to the film surface. The tracks were preferentially etched in 6 M aqueous solution of sodium hydroxide to prepare cylindrical nanochannels. The channel diameters were tuned between 200 and 600 nm by varying the etching time. Co₈₁Cu₁₉ alloy nanowires were electrodeposited potentiostatically, while Co/Cu multilayered nanowires, consisting of alternating Co and Cu layers with thickness 10 nm, were synthesized by means of a pulse plating technique in channels of length 30 μm and diameter 200 nm. Co₈₁Cu₁₉ alloy nanowires showed an anisotropic magnetoresistance effect of 0.6%, and the giant magnetoresistance of Co/Cu multilayered nanowires reached up to 8.0%.     

Solvent cast blends of PMMA microspheres in bisphenol-A-polycarbonate

Abstract

Transparent films of bisphenol-A-polycarbonate (PC), poly (methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) microspheres and their blends at various compositions were prepared by solution casting using methylene chloride (MC) as a solvent. The structural, morphological and thermal properties were investigated by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), differential scanning calorimetry and thermogravimetric analysis. It was obvious that all the characteristic absorption bands could be found in the IR spectra of PC/PMMA blends, but different in the strength. From the SEM images, a co-continue morphology was observed in the PC/PMMA blends when the PMMA content was above 80wt%, indicating the existence of special interaction between PC and PMMA microspheres. Differential scanning calorimetry results showed a single glass transition temperature (T_g) only for 10%PC/90%PMMA blends because of the better dissolution of PC in PMMA than PMMA in PC. Thermogravimetric analysis thermograms showed that the thermal stability of PC/PMMA blends increased with increasing PC content, which was due to the better thermal stability of PC.     

Comparison of dry etching of PMMA and polycarbonate in diffusion pump-based O2 capacitively coupled plasma and inductively coupled plasma

We report a comparison of dry etching of polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) and polycarbonate (PC) in O₂ capacitively coupled plasma (CCP) and inductively coupled plasma (ICP). A diffusion pump was used as high vacuum pump in both cases. Experimental variables were process pressure (30-180 mTorr), CCP power (25-150 W) and ICP power (0-350 W). Gas flow rate was fixed at 5 sccm. An optimized process pressure range of 40-60 mTorr was found for the maximum etch rate of PMMA and PC in both CCP and ICP etch modes. ICP etching produced the highest etch rate of 0.9 μm/min for PMMA at 40 mTorr, 100 W CCP and 300 W ICP power, while 100 W CCP only plasma produced 0.46 μm/min for PMMA at the same condition. For polycarbonate, the highest etch rates were 0.45 and 0.27 μm/min, respectively. RMS surface roughnesses of PMMA and PC were about 2-3 nm after etching. Etch selectivity of PMMA over photoresist was 1-2 and that of PC was less than 1. When ICP power increased from 0 to 350 W, etch rates of PMMA and PC increased linearly from 0.47 to 1.18 μm/min and from 0.18 to 0.6 μm/min, while the negative self bias slightly reduced from 364 to 352 V. Increase of CCP power raised both self bias and PMMA etch rate. PMMA etch rates were about 3 times higher than those of PC at the same CCP conditions. SEM data showed that there was some undercutting of PMMA and PC after etching at 300 W ICP, 100 W CCP and 40 mTorr. The results also showed that the etched surface of PMMA was rough and that of PC was relatively smooth.

Field emission of Co nanowires in polycarbonate template

The Co nanowire arrays were synthesized by electrodeposition in polycarbonate template (PC) with 4 μm thickness. Electron field emission properties of cobalt nanowires were studied for wires with different aspect ratios, R ranged between 10 and 60, while the diameter of wires was fixed about 50 nm. The field emission properties of the samples showed low turn on electric field (E_to) with values varying between 2.9 and 11.3 V/μm showing a minimum value for R = 20 (E_to < 3 V/μm). On the other hand, the enhancement factor shows a peak for nanowires length about 1 μm. Field emission data using the Fowler-Nordhiem theory showed nearly straight-line nature confirming cold field emission of electrons. The fabricated field emitter arrays of cobalt nanowires in the PC templates opens the possibility of fabricating flexible flat panel displays.
