Interfacial modification on polyhydroxyalkanoates/starch blend by grafting in-situ
Carbohydrate Polymers, 2017The interfacial adhesion between polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs) and native starch is poor. To improve the interfacial adhesion, PHAs were in-situ grafted onto starch using dicumyl peroxide (DCP) as a free radical initiator. The grafting reaction was carefully characterized and confirmed by gel analysis and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR).

Interfacial charge modification between SiO2 and silicon
Applied Physics Letters, 1989A positive flatband voltage shift, ΔVfb ≂+0.4 V, with respect to unimplanted portions of the same wafer, was obtained when calcium (1×1013 cm−2) was implanted into 87 nm of thermally grown oxide on an n-type 〈100〉 substrate and annealed. Calcium acts as a low-efficiency n-type dopant in silicon (<0.1% activated) which eliminates the possibility ...

Modification of interfacial charge between SiO2 and silicon
Applied Physics Letters, 1988Reduction of the net positive charge at the interface between SiO2 and silicon has been achieved by implanting calcium in the SiO2 near the interface and annealing. Comparison between initial calcium implant profiles and calcium profiles obtained after a high-temperature (950 °C) anneal showed that the calcium was basically immobile.

Effects of interfacial modifications on diamond film adhesion
SPIE Proceedings, 1991Microlithographic surface patterning has been investigated as a means of improving diamond film adhesion on noncompatible substrates. This technique produces significant improvements in film adhesion beyond identical unpatterned substrates, although sufficient film stresses can develop to induce subsurface substrate fracture.

Superhydrophobic Diffusion Barriers for Hydrogels via Confined Interfacial Modification
Advanced Materials, 2016A ubiquitous strategy to superhydrophobize the surfaces of synthetic hydrogels is reported, creating heterogeneous wettability across the surface and the inner network. Such wetting disparity shows significant influence on preventing immediate diffusion of substances between the hydrogel and the aqueous environment on different scales.

Interfacial Modification of Clay Nanotubes for the Sustained Release of Corrosion Inhibitors
Langmuir, 2012Long-lasting anticorrosive coatings for steel have been developed on the basis of halloysite nanotubes loaded with three corrosion inhibitors: benzotriazole, mercaptobenzothiazole, and mercaptobenzimidazole. The inhibitors' loaded tubes were admixed at 5-10 wt % to oil-based alkyd paint providing sustained agent release and corrosion healing in the ...

Effects of Interfacial Modifications on Electrical Properties of Laminar Composite Dielectrics
Langmuir, 2010The reported work highlights that both polarizibility and quasi-DC conductivity, the two most important parameters for high energy density materials, can be influenced by the surface polarity of an oxide and interfacial surface tension between the oxide and polymer in a laminar composite.

Direct Interfacial Modification of Nanocellulose Films for Thermoresponsive Membrane Templates
ACS Applied Materials & Interfaces, 2016This letter proposes a strategy to construct tunable films combining the physical characteristics of cellulose nanofibrils and smart polymers for membrane applications. A functional membrane template was obtained by first fabricating a water stable film from cellulose nanofibrils and subsequently surface grafting it with a thermoresponsive polymer ...
