Polycarbodiimides at interfaces: Polymer adsorption at solution -silica interfaces and thermal decomposition of an adsorbed thin polymer film

Trends in the adsorption of poly(N-methyl-N ′-((±)-α-phenylethyl)carbodiimide), poly-R/S, and poly(N-methyl-N ′-((–)-α-phenylethyl)carbodiimide), poly- S, to native silicon oxide were shown to be influenced by the polymer's conformation in solution (worm-like and rigid, respectively), solvent q...
