Outline of Final Research Achievements

The objective of this project is to give a better understanding of aggregation states and hierarchical molecular motion of polymer chains at the interfaces with corresponding non-solvents. The local conformation, the density profiles along the direction normal to the interface and the segmental dynamics of polymer chains were systematically studied at the interface with water, which is a typical non-solvent for conventional polymers. This was combined with the adhesion behavior of biological components onto the polymer interface, leading to a novel guideline for the design and construction of polymer devices, which contribute promisingly to life innovation.
