MC films

Water-soluble (uncrosslinked) polymers absorb water, swell and concomitantly dissolve (erode). Not much has been published on water penetration kinetics and swelling of cellulose derivatives. Wan and Prasad [74] studied the linear swelling of MC films at 34,37 and 40 °C. Concurrently, they were able to explain the slow disintegration of pharmaceutical tablets prepared using this binder at low temperature by the higher degree of swelling. 

Glad [37] studied the micro deformations of thin films prepared from DGE-BA/MDA by electron microscopy. His results are also shown in Fig. 7.5. The deformation of the sample with high strand density was small and consequently its image in the EM rather blurred. Therefore, the result on Mc = 0.5 kg/mol should perhaps have been omitted.

Similar effects may exist at other metals. For instance, when the surface of an iron electrode is thermally reduced in hydrogen and then anodically polarized at a current density of 0.01 mA/cm in 0.1 M NaOH solution, passivation sets in after 1 to 2 min (i.e., after a charge flow of about 100 mC/cm ). This amount of charge is much smaller than that required for formation of even a thin phase film. Since prior to the experiment, oxygen had been stripped from the surface, passivation can only be due to the adsorbed layer formed as a result of polarization. 

The computational efficiency of the dynamics in Step 2 on the 2nnd lattice permits the study of the cohesion (and complete mixing) of two thin films [173]. Time scales for equilibration of the density profile, redistribution of chain ends, and complete intermixing of the chains span several orders of magnitude of time, expressed in MC steps, and are all accessible via the 2nnd simulation [173],...

The biomembrane-like films can provide a favorable microenvironment for proteins and enhance direct electron-transfer rate between proteins and electrodes, so many biopolymers such as methyl cellulose (MC) and dihexadecylphospate (DHP) have been used to immobilize Mb and make biosensors [230-232], The electrochemical catalytic reduction of oxygen by the Mb-MC/EPG was examined by CVs.

Electron injection has been observed during the chemical dissolution of an oxide film in HF [Mai, Ozl, Bi5]. The injected electrons are easily detected if the anodized electrode is n-type and kept in the dark. Independently of oxide thickness and whether the oxide is thermally grown or formed by anodization, injected electrons are only observed during the dissolution of the last few monolayers adjacent to the silicon interface. The electron injection current transient depends on dissolution rate respectively HF concentration, however, the exchanged charge per area is always in the order of 0.6 mC cm-2. This is shown in Fig. 4.14 for an n-type silicon electrode illuminated with chopped light. The transient injection current is clearly visible in the dark phases.
