Currently, a lot of research efforts have been directed toward exploiting the special high-
performance characteristics of polymers with sulfur in the backbone. Sulfur-containing …

Joining metals by adhesive bonding is essential in widespread fields such as mobility,
dentistry, and electronics. Although adhesive technology has grown since the 1920s, the …

Surface-sensitive sum-frequency vibrational spectroscopy (SFVS) has grown into a most
viable analytical tool to investigate Langmuir monolayer systems. It has been successful in …

A liquid-crystalline polymer, poly (9, 9-dioctylfluorene)(PFO), was found to form highly
oriented films by a friction-transfer technique. The polarized UV− vis absorption and …

Sum frequency generation (SFG) vibrational spectroscopy has been applied to investigate
the molecular structure of the buried poly (methyl methacrylate)(PMMA)/silver (Ag) interface …

Surface of 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate ([BMIM] BF4)+ water mixture is
investigated using surface tension measurement and sum-frequency generation …

Vibrational sum frequency generation (SFG) spectroscopy has been utilized to study the
spatial orientation and alignment of Re (CO) 3Cl (dcbpy)(dcbpy= 4, 4′-dicarboxy-2, 2 …

Sum frequency vibrational spectroscopy was used to study the structure of water/α-Al2O3
(11̅02) interfaces at different pH values. The OH stretch spectra are dominated by …

We developed a methodology to directly probe molecular ordering at the buried
polymer/metal interface. Using sum frequency generation (SFG) vibrational spectroscopy …

Previously, we developed several methods to use sum frequency generation (SFG)
vibrational spectroscopy to probe buried polymer/metal interfaces in situ by depositing …
