Research Abstract |
Spin-label method is used to study structure and molecular motion of polystirene (PS) chains having molecular weights, Mw=3X10^3,9.6X10^4, and 3.8X10^5, adsorbed in a pore of porous silica and the silica suface grafted with poly (ethylene oxide) (PEO). (1)The adsorption rate and the amount of the adsorbed PS depend on the grafting ratio lower than 2%. (2)The molecular interaction between PS and silica and the molecular motion of PS chain depend on its molecular weight. The adsorped PS having Mw=3X10^3 strongly interacts with silica, whereas PS having Mw=9.6X10^4 and 3.8X10^5 moves rapidly as "tail or loop segment" at a short adsorption decreases its mobility with increasing adsorption time, and change to "train segment". (3)Molecular mobility of the grafted PEO chain is higher than the adsoroed PS chain, having Mw=3.8X10^5. This fact suggests that the PS chains spread out the grafted chains and adsrbed on the silica surface as "train segments", whereas PEO chains protrude as "tail segmens". It was also found that the molecular structure of the chains change with adsorption time. Their structure of PEO and PS depend on molecular weight of PS and grafting ratio of PEO.
