Combinatorial Methods for Polymer Science

摘要: This article presents recent advances in which combinatorial methodologies have been used for efficient measurement of chemical and physical properties polymers over large regimes variable space. Methodologies both synthesis characterization allow materials discovery new models structure–processing–property relationships. Polymer with methods relies primarily on reactant mixing diversity to create discrete libraries investigating structure composition variations. In the future, techniques will be developed library variation processing variables like temperature, UV exposure, pressure during synthesis. Several developments are presented polymers, using high throughput films coatings. As examples, four novel preparing continuous gradient polymer controlled variations composition, thickness, substrate surface energy. The use these facilitates blend phase behavior, thin-film dewetting, block copolymer order–disorder transitions, adhesion.
