NANOTECHNOLOGICAL ASPECTS OF TEMPERATURE-DEPENDENT DECOMPOSITION OF POLYMER SOLUTIONS

摘要

In this paper, polymer deposition on a substrate upon exceeding the lower critical solution temperature or on cooling beyond the upper critical solution temperature of poly(oxyethylene-boxypropylene-b-oxyethylene) 3-block copolymers has been studied. The decomposition mechanism and the lower critical solution temperature inducing polymer deposition for modifying the surface of particles have been demonstrated.
