TY - THES A1 - Xü, Chenggang T1 - Preparation and characterization of vapour deposited films based on substituted 2,5-diphenyl-1,3,4-oxadiazole derivatives N2 - Diese Arbeit befasst sich mit dem Einfluss der molekularen Struktur von 2,5-Diphenyl-1,3,4-Oxadiazol-Derivaten auf die Präparierung dünner Schichten mittels Vakuumdeposition. Dünne Schichten von diesen Substanzen wurden auf Si/SiO2 aufgedampft und ihre Struktur systematisch mittels XSR, AFM und IR untersucht. Das Ergebnis zeigt, dass die Schichtstrukturen offenbar von Substratetemperatur (Ts) abhängig sind. Im untersuchten Ts-Bereich bilden etherverbrückte Oxadiazole immer geordnete Schichten und die Schichtperiodicität hängt linear von der Längen der aliphatischen Ketten, während sich bei den amidverbrückten Oxadiazolen nur bei hohen Ts geordnete Schichten bilden können. Diese Unterschiede sind auf die intermolekularen Wasserstoffbrücken zurückzuführen. Der Tilt-Winkel der Moleküle ist durch die Wechselwirkung zwischen dem aromatischen Teil bestimmt. Die Wechselwirkungen zwischen den Kopfgruppen können durch Tempern abgeschwächt werden und führen zur Strukturumwandlung von Schichten, die auf etherverbrückten Oxadiazolen basieren. Alle Schichten von etherverbrückten Oxadiazolen haben Doppelschicht-Struktur, aber amidverbrückte Oxadiazole bilden nur Doppelschicht-Strukturen, wenn die Moleküle eine Kopfgruppe besitzen. N2 - The correlations between the chemical structures of the 2,5-diphenyl-1,3,4-oxadiazole compounds and their corresponding vapour deposited film structures on Si/SiO2 were systematically investigated with AFM, XSR and IR for the first time. The result shows that the film structure depends strongly on the substrate temperature (Ts). For the compounds with ether bridge group, the film periodicity depends linearly on the length of the aliphatic chain. The films based on those oxadiazols have ordered structure in the investigated substrate temperature region, while die amide bridged compounds form ordered film only at high Ts due to the formation of intermolecular H-bond. The tilt angle of most molecules is determined by the pi-pi complexes between the molecules. The intermolecular interaction between head groups leads to the structural transformation during the thermal treatment after deposition. All the ether bridged oxadiazoles form films with bilayer structure, while amide bridged oxadiazole form film bilayer structure only when the molecule has a head group.

The PMDEGA hydrogel film thickness is varied from 2 to 422 nm. Initially, these films are homogenous, as measured with optical microscopy, atomic force microscopy, X-ray reflectivity, and grazing-incidence small-angle X-ray scattering (GISAXS). However, they tend to de-wet when stored under ambient conditions. Along the surface normal, no long-ranged correlations between substrate and film surface are detected with GISAXS, due to the high mobility of the polymer at room temperature. The swelling of the hydrogel films as a function of the water vapor pressure and the temperature are probed for saturated water vapor pressures between 2,380 and 3,170 Pa. While the swelling capability is found to increase with water vapor pressure, swelling in dependence on the temperature revealed a collapse phase transition of a lower critical solution temperature type. The transition temperature decreases from 40.6 A degrees C to 36.6 A degrees C with increasing film thickness, but is independent of the thickness for very thin films below a thickness of 40 nm. The observed transition temperature range compares well with the cloud points observed in dilute (0.1 wt.%) and semi-dilute (5 wt.%) solution which decrease from 45 A degrees C to 39 A degrees C with increasing concentration.

As the solvents are either PS- or PMDEGA-selective, micelles with different core-shell micellar structures are formed. In PMDEGA-selective solvents, the PS block is the core and PMDEGA is the shell, whereas in PS-selective solvents, the order is reversed. After exposing the films to liquid D2O, the micellar structure inside the films prepared from PMDEGA-selective solvents remains unchanged and only the PMDEGA (shell part) swells. On the contrary, in the films prepared from PS-selective solvents, the micelles revert the core and the shell. This reversal causes more entanglements of the PMDEGA chains between the micelles. Moreover, the thermal collapse transition of the PMDEGA block in liquid D2O is significantly broadened. Irrespective of the solvent used for film preparation, the swollen PMDEGA shell does not show a prominent shrinkage when passing the phase transition, and the transition process occurs via compaction. The collapsed micelles have a tendency to densely pack above the transition temperature.

To address this unmet need, we designed a blend of degradable multiblock copolymers, which is cross-linked by PLA stereocomplexation combining two soft segments differing substantially in their hydrolytic degradation rate. The degradation path and concomitant structural changes are predicted by Langmuir monolayer technique. The fast hydrolysis of one soft segment leads to a decrease of the total polymer mass at constant physical cross-linking density. The corresponding increase of the average spacing between the network nodes suggests the targeted increase of the blend's flexibility.

By targeting the phthalimide groups in the chain backbone, post-functionalization offers a pathway to adjust surface properties such as hydrophilicity, solvent resistance, and porosity. Here, we use ultrathin PEI films on a Langmuir trough as a model system to investigate the surface functionalization with ethylene diamine and tetrakis(4-aminophenyl)porphyrin as multivalent nucleophiles. By means of AFM, Raman spectroscopy, and interfacial rheology, we show that hydrolysis enhances the chemical and mechanical stability of ultrathin films and allows for the formation of EDC/NHS-activated esters. Direct amidation of PEI was achieved in the presence of a Lewis acid catalyst, resulting in free amine groups rather than cross-linking. When comparing amidation with hydrolysis, we find a greater influence of the latter on material properties.
