I. Composite polymer coatings prepared in supercritical carbon dioxide. II. Chemical modification of atomic force microscope probes. III. Liquid mobility on surfaces with patterned chemistry and topography

The initial part of this dissertation describes the preparation of the first reported poly(p-xylylene) polymer/polymer composites. Poly(p-xylylene) (PPXN) and its derivatives, known collectively as parylenes, are solvent resistant and blends or composites cannot be easily made by conventional method...
