Surface Chemistry and Physics

The interest in polymer brushes and defined polymer coatings prepared via SIP is not at all restricted to the polymer community or the surface science community. The demand for tailored, fimctionahzed and adaptive surfaces comes from a multitude of scientific branches and also from industry. Possible applications are already discussed in many of the contributions compiled here. Besides polymer science, surface chemistry and physics, they include catalysis, biomedical applications, microfluidics and nanotechnology. This creates a highly interdisciplinary, Hvely and fruitful environment.

In the traditional surface science approach the surface chemistry and physics are examined in a UHV chamber at reactant pressures (and sometimes surface temperatures) that are normally far from the actual conditions of the process being investigated (catalysis, CVD, etching, etc.). This so-called pressure gap has been the subject of much discussion and debate for surface science studies of heterogeneous catalysis, and most of the critical issues are also relevant to the study of microelectronic systems. By going to lower pressures and temperatures, it is sometimes possible to isolate reaction intermediates and perform a stepwise study of a surface chemical mechanism. Reaction kinetics (particularly unimolecular kinetics) measured at low pressures often extrapolate very well to real-world conditions.

Although the book has been largely rewritten, and a considerable enlargement has seemed unavoidable, its plan remains unchanged namely, to provide a text-book of Surface Chemistry and Physics, and also to give an account of our knowledge of Surface Films in some little detail. The chapter on the properties of molecules, deduced from methods other than those of Surface Chemistry, has been omitted, partly because it is irrelevant to the main plan of the book, but also because information on this subject is now much more readily accessible than it was in 1929. An account of electrical phenomena at surfaces has been added. 

The special economic role of metal and oxide surfaces in heterogeneous catalysis has provided a lot of the driving force behind current surface chemistry and physics. We always knew that the chemistry took place at the surface. But it is only today that we are discovering the basic mechanistic steps in heterogeneous catalysis. It s an exciting time how wonderful to learn precisely how Dobereiner s lamp and the Haber process work ... 

An important factor in the early stages of this work was my renewed collaboration with R. B. Woodward, prompted by our joint interest in organic conductors. Our collaboration was unfortunately cut short by his death in 1979- Thor Rhodin was mainly responsible for introducing me to the riches of surface chemistry and physics, and I am grateful to him and his students. It was always instructive to try to provoke John Wilkins.

Due to its high surface area, surface chemistry and physics dominate the properties of fumed silica. The O—Si-O being 0.3 to 0.4 nm let estimate about only 20 silicon dioxide units spanning the diameter of a primary particle of amorphous silica. Fumed silica therefore has an extremely high surface to bulk ratio up to about 10 %. This is why even bulk methods of chemical analysis are suitable to follow chemical reactions on its surface elemental analysis, IR or NMR methods, etc.

The book is directed to advanced students and scientists working in the fields of electrochemistry, phase formation and crystal growth, surface chemistry and physics, ultrathin film formation, and structuring and modification of solid state surfaces. 

We will consider only those methods from surface chemistry and physics that are currently applicable to practical powder catalysts and that are now, or soon will be, readily available to most workers. These cover the characterization of (1) morphology and composition, (2) structure, (3) dispersion, (4) acidity, and (S) activity. The first is included since the size and shape of component crystallites is intimately connected to surface properties. The last factor, activity, must be considered a vital characterization tool during catalyst development. 

This completes our necessarily cursory overview. Other speakers at this symposium will address several of these topics in detail--including the ancient and fascinating problem of charge exchange between dielectrics (143). By way of conclusion, we outline some problems in surface chemistry and physics whose understanding will advance the field of electrophotography.

The aim of this monograph is to direct the attentions of scientists, industry, economy and politics to modem nanotechnology which certainly will have a strong impact in many fields such as surface chemistry and physics, materials science, electronics, sensor technology, biology, medicine, etc.. lUPAC is interested that R D nanoprojects should be supported financially by national and international foundations as already done in USA, Japan and Switzerland.
