Abstract [en]

Interphase phenomenon gains more and more interest throughout the research community. An interphase is formed between a filler particle and a polymeric matrix, and it may constitute almost the entire volume of a nanocomposite. If the interphase have favorable mechanical properties it will thus result in a nanocomposite with such properties. Therefore, understanding the principles of its formation and properties are crucial in order to design advanced nanocomposites. This thesis focuses on PDMS-carboxylic acid modified latex nanoparticles (PDMS-CML) surface composites investigated by means of Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM). A new sample preparation method was designed and utilized together with the Gel Trapping Technique (GTT). Quantitative Imaging Mode and Contact Mode were utilized in the AFM studies. Topography and nanomechanical properties were investigated and compared for pure PDMS and PDMS containing the nanoparticles. Further, Contact Mode was used to investigate nanoscale wear of the samples in order to elucidate the interactions strength between the nanoparticles and the matrix.

Abstract [sv]

Egenskaper hos interfaser är ett område som röner allt större intresse hos forskarna inom materialområdet. En interfas bildas mellan en fillerpartikel och en polymermatris, och den kan utgöra den största volymen i en nanokomposit. Ifall interfasen har fördelaktiga mekaniska egenskaper så resulterar det alltså i att nanokompositen också får det. Det är därför viktigt att först principerna för hur interfasen bildas och får sina egenskaper om man vill framställa avancerade nanokompositer. I det här avhandlingsarbetet lades fokus på PDMS och karboxylsyrefunktionaliserade latex nanopartiklar som bildade en nanokomposit yta, vilken studerades med atomkraftsmikroskopi (AFM). En ny framställningsmetod togs fram och utnyttjades tillsammans med den så kallade ”Gel Trapping” tekniken (GTT). Quantitative Imaging och kontakt mode utnyttjades vid AFM studierna. Topografin och de nanomekaniska egenskaperna studerades för ren PDMS och PDMS blandat med nanopartiklarna. Nötning på nanometernivå studerades också, och dä med AFM i kontakt mode.
