Nonlinear optical spectroscopic studies of polymer surface properties and competition adsorption of toluene and heptane on silica surfaces

Surface properties of polymers and competition adsorption of toluene and heptane on silica were studied using IR-visible sum frequency generation (SFG) vibrational spectroscopy. SFG is intrinsically surface sensitive because the second-order optical process is forbidden in media with inversion symme...
