RAIRS is routinely used for the analysis of chemically modified surfaces - surface systems in electrochemistry [4.277], polymer research [4.266, 4.278], catalysis [4.265, 4.271], selfassembling monolayers [4.267, 4.268], and protein adsorption [4.268, 4.279] have been investigated.

Recent demands for polymeric materials request them to be multifunctional and high performance. Therefore, the research and development of composite materials have become more important because single-polymeric materials can never satisfy such requests. Especially, nanocomposite materials where nanoscale fillers are incorporated with polymeric materials draw much more attention, which accelerates the development of evaluation techniques that have nanometer-scale resolution." To date, transmission electron microscopy (TEM) has been widely used for this purpose, while the technique never catches mechanical information of such materials in general. The realization of much-higher-performance materials requires the evaluation technique that enables us to investigate morphological and mechanical properties at the same time. AFM must be an appropriate candidate because it has almost comparable resolution with TEM. Furthermore, mechanical properties can be readily obtained by AFM due to the fact that the sharp probe tip attached to soft cantilever directly touches the surface of materials in question. Therefore, many of polymer researchers have started to use this novel technique." In this section, we introduce the results using the method described in Section 21.3.3 on CB-reinforced NR.

The implications of the foregoing concept have profoundly influenced modern trends in polymer research. If polymers owe their differences from other compounds to the extent and arrangement of their primary valence structures, the problem of understanding them is twofold. It is necessary in the first place to provide appropriate means, both experimental and theoretical, for elucidating their macromolecular structures a[Pg.3]

Quadrupoles are low-resolution MS instruments frequently used for molecular weight determination. QMS provides unit-mass resolution, sufficient dynamic range, good quantitation capabilities, and easy sample introduction without severe vacuum restrictions. The limited mass range (up to 4000 Da) generally does not pose problems in polymer/additive analysis. Some limitations of QMS in polymer research are ...

Carothers hard-driving and intense, yet also quiet and warm. When Carothers was in good humor, no one was funnier, cleverer, or wittier. But when he was depressed, his mood affected everyone around him. And when he was low, Marvel said, he was lower than a snake s belly. Marvel later learned polymer chemistry from his student and became the first academic polymer researcher in the United States.

This is one of the main purposes of inorganic polymer research —the search for new and useful compounds and materials that combine the properties of polymers with those of ceramics and/or metals.
