Abstract
In this study, multilayered films of polyethylenimine/poly (sodium-p-styrene sulfonate) (PEI)/(PSS) and type I collagen/heparin sodium (COL)/(HEP) were fabricated using the layer-by-layer technique, and fully characterized using Infrared Variable Angle Spectroscopic Ellipsometry (IRVASE) to simultaneously analyze the chemistry, thickness, and roughness of the multilayers with respect to changes in pH of the washing solution, and changes in temperature. Film topography and Young's modulus were obtained by atomic force microscopy (AFM) and nanoindentation. Our results show that with IRVASE it is possible to analyze the thickness of the multilayers prepared using a washing solution of pH 5, obtaining values of 71.7 nm and 40.3 nm for three bilayers of PEI/PSS and COL/HEP, respectively. Film roughness varies between multilayer systems, obtaining values of 37.76 nm for three bilayers of PEI/PSS and 33.58 nm for three bilayers of COL/HEP. Increasing the pH of the washing solution for PEI/PSS yielded thinner films that were less susceptible to thermal induced changes in film chemistry in the range of 25 - 150 °C. PEI/PSS films decreased in thickness with increasing temperature up to 75 °C, whereas above 75 °C film thickness increased. Through IRVASE, a transition temperature for the PEI/PSS multilayers was observed at 75 °C. Temperatures above 37 °C drastically alter the chemistry and the thickness of the COL/HEP multilayers indicating a possible degradation of the polymers. We obtained, through nanoindentation, a Young's modulus of 15000 kPa and 9000 kPa for 12 bilayers of PEI/PSS and COL/HEP, respectively. These results demonstrate that, using IRVASE, we can simultaneously evaluate the physical, chemical, and thermal properties of synthetic and natural multilayered polymeric films.

Abstract
In this study, carbon nanotubes (CNTs) were modified with sulfonated groups and incorporated into the active layer of a forward osmosis (FO) membrane to achieve a desirable thin-film nanocomposite (TFN) FO membrane. Different concentrations of sulfonated carbon nanotubes (SCNTs) were added, and their impact on the FO membrane was also investigated, including the hydrophilicity, roughness, membrane morphology and FO performance. With the addition of SCNTs, the membrane surface got smoother and denser, and the hydrophilicity also improved significantly. Regarding FO performance, SCNTs-functionalized FO membranes exhibited higher water flux (Jw) and lower reverse salt flux (Js). The optimal Jw of 29.9 ± 1.6 LMH was achieved by using 1 M NaCl solution as the draw solution (DS) and deionized (DI) water as the feed solution (FS), almost 140% higher than the control (21.3 ± 2.1 LMH) and Js decreased to about 12%. In this study, carbon nanotubes (CNTs) were modified with sulfonated groups and incorporated into the active layer of a forward osmosis (FO) membrane to achieve a desirable thin-film nanocomposite (TFN) FO membrane.![]()

Abstract
Mixed layers of 6-hydroxy-5-[(4-sulfophenyl)azo]-2-naphthalenesulfonate (Sunset Yellow, SSY) and cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (C16TAB) at the air-water interface were studied using vibrational sum-frequency generation (SFG) and dynamic surface tension measurements. In the bulk, addition of C16TAB to SSY aqueous solution causes substantial changes in UV/vis absorption spectra, which originate from strong electrostatic interactions between the anionic SSY azo dye with the cationic C16TAB surfactant. These interactions are a driving force for the formation of SSY/C16TAB ion pairs. The latter are found to be highly surface active while free SSY molecules show no surface activity. Dynamic SFG as well as surface tension measurements at low SSY concentrations reveal that free C16TAB surfactants adsorb at the air-water interface on time scales <1 s where they initially form the dominating surface species, but on longer time scales free C16TAB is exchanged by SSY/C16TAB ion pairs. This causes a dramatic reduction of the surface tension to 35 mN/m but also in foam stability. These changes are accompanied by a substantial loss in SFG intensity from O-H stretching bands around 3200 and 3450 cm-1, which we relate to a decrease in surface charging due to adsorption of ion pairs with no or negligible net charges. For SSY/C16TAB molar ratios >0.5, the O-H bands in SFG spectra are reduced to very low intensities and are indicative to electrically neutral SSY/C16TAB ion pairs. This conclusion is corroborated by an analysis of macroscopic foams, which become highly instable in the presence of neutral SSY/C16TAB ion pairs. From an analysis of SFG spectra of air-water interfaces, we show that the electrostatic repulsion forces inside the ubiquitous foam films are reduced and thus remove the major stabilization mechanism within macroscopic foam.

Abstract
Nafion, as a state-of-the-art solid electrolyte for proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs), suffers from drastic decline in proton conductivity with decreasing humidity, which significantly restricts the efficient and stable operation of the fuel cell system. In this study, the proton conductivity of Nafion at low relative humidity (RH) was remarkably enhanced by incorporating multifunctional graphene oxide (GO) nanosheets as multifunctional fillers. Through surface-initiated atom transfer radical polymerization of sulfopropyl methacrylate (SPM) and poly(ethylene glycol) methyl ether methacrylate, the copolymer-grafted GO was synthesized and incorporated into the Nafion matrix, generating efficient paths at the Nafion-GO interface for proton conduction. The Lewis basic oxygen atoms of ethylene oxide (EO) units and sulfonated acid groups of SPM monomers served as additional proton binding and release sites to facilitate the proton hopping through the membrane. Meanwhile, the hygroscopic EO units enhanced the water retention property of the composite membrane, conferring a dramatic increase in proton conductivity under low humidity. With 1 wt % filler loading, the composite membrane displayed the highest proton conductivity of 2.98 × 10-2 S cm-1 at 80 °C and 40% RH, which was 10 times higher than that of recast Nafion. Meanwhile, the Nafion composite exhibited a 135.5% increase in peak power density at 60 °C and 50% RH, indicating its great application potential in PEMFCs.

Abstract
Air/water interfaces were modified by oppositely charged poly(sodium 4-styrenesulfonate) (NaPSS) and hexadecyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) polyelectrolyte/surfactant mixtures and were studied on a molecular level with vibrational sum-frequency generation (SFG), tensiometry, surface dilatational rheology and ellipsometry. In order to deduce structure property relations, our results on the interfacial molecular structure and lateral interactions of PSS-/CTA+ complexes were compared to the stability and structure of macroscopic foam as well as to bulk properties. For that, the CTAB concentration was fixed to 0.1 mM, while the NaPSS concentration was varied. At NaPSS monomer concentrations <0.1 mM, PSS-/CTA+ complexes start to replace free CTA+ surfactants at the interface and thus reduce the interfacial electric field in the process. This causes the O-H bands from interfacial H2O molecules in our SFG spectra to decrease substantially, which reach a local minimum in intensity close to equimolar concentrations. Once electrostatic repulsion is fully screened at the interface, hydrophobic PSS-/CTA+ complexes dominate and tend to aggregate at the interface and in the bulk solution. As a consequence, adsorbate layers with the highest film thickness, surface pressure, and dilatational elasticity are formed. These surface layers provide much higher stabilities and foamabilities of polyhedral macroscopic foams. Mixtures around this concentration show precipitation after a few days, while their surfaces to air are in a local equilibrium state. Concentrations >0.1 mM result in a significant decrease in surface pressure and a complete loss in foamability. However, SFG and surface dilatational rheology provide strong evidence for the existence of PSS-/CTA+ complexes at the interface. At polyelectrolyte concentrations >10 mM, air-water interfaces are dominated by an excess of free PSS- polyelectrolytes and small amounts of PSS-/CTA+ complexes which, however, provide higher foam stabilities compared to CTAB free foams. The foam structure undergoes a transition from wet to polyhedral foams during the collapse.

Abstract
A labeled green fluorescent polystyrene sulfonate (LNaPSS) has been synthesized using atom transfer radical polymerization of a styrene sulfonate monomer with a fluorescent co-monomer, fluorescein thiocyanate-vinyl aniline. As a result this 100 % sulfonated polymer contains no hydrophobic patches along the chain backbone besides the fluorescent marker itself. The concentration of the fluorescent monomer was kept low to maintain the characteristic properties of the anionic polyelectrolyte, LNaPSS. ATRP conditions facilitated the production of polymers spanning a range of molecular weights from 35,000 to 175,000 in gram-scale batches with polydispersity indices of 1.01-1.24. Molecular weight increased with the monomer to initiator ratio. Gel permeation chromatography results show a unimodal distribution, and the polymer structure was also confirmed by (1)H NMR and FT-IR spectroscopy. Fluorescence spectroscopy confirmed covalent bonding of fluorescein isothiocyanate to the polymer, indicating that the polymer is suitable as a probe in fluorescence microscopy. To demonstrate this ability, the polymer was used to locate structural features in salt crystals formed during drying, as in the evaporation of sea mist. A second application to probe diffusion studies is also demonstrated.

Abstract
Poly(sodium styrene sulfonate) (pNaSS) was grafted onto poly(ε-caprolatone) (PCL) surfaces via ozonation and graft polymerization. The effect of ozonation and polymerization time, as well as the Mohr's salt concentration in the grafting solution, on the degree of grafting was investigated. The degree of grafting was determined through toluidine blue staining. The surface chemical change was characterized by attenuated total reflection Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. The result demonstrated that the grafting did not induce any degradation of PCL, and that pNaSS was grafted onto PCL as a thin and covalently stable layer. Furthermore, the modified PCL surface reveals a significant increase in the metabolic activity of fibroblastic cells, as well as a better cell spreading with higher adhesion strength. Consequently, bioactivity of PCL is greatly enhanced by immobilizing a thin layer of pNaSS onto its surface. The grafting of pNaSS is a promising approach to increase the bioactivity of PCL-based materials used in tissue engineering applications, such as ligament reconstruction.

Abstract
Nanoscale interfaces can modify the phase transition behaviors of polymeric materials. Here, we report the double glass transition temperature (Tg) behavior of sulfonated polystyrene (sPS) by the inclusion of 14 nm amine-functionalized silica (NH2-SiO2) nanoparticles, which is different from the single Tg behaviors of neat sPS and silica (SiO2)-filled sPS. The inclusion of 20 wt% NH2-SiO2 nanoparticles results in an increase of Tg by 9.3 °C as well as revealing a second Tg reduced by 44.7 °C compared to the Tg of neat sPS. By contrast, when SiO2 nanoparticles with an identical concentration and size to NH2-SiO2 are dispersed, sPS composites possess a single Tg of 7.3 °C higher than that of the neat sPS. While a nanoscale dispersion is observed for SiO2 nanoparticles, as confirmed by microscopic and X-ray scattering analyses, NH2-SiO2 nanoparticles show the coexistence of micron-scale clustering along with a nanoscale dispersion of the individual nanoparticles. The micro-phase separation contributes to the free volume induced Tg reduction by the plasticization effect, whereas the Tg increase originates from the polymer segment mobility constrained by nanoconfinement and the rigid amorphous fractions deriving from strong polymer-particle interactions.

Abstract
A simple and robust alternative for fabricating stimuli-responsive 2D self-folding films was introduced. The approach combines metal-sputtering, layer-by-layer assembly of polyelectrolytes, and transfer-printing of the bilayer film onto a substrate coated with a sacrificial layer. With this technique, self-folding bilayer films can be fabricated without using harsh chemical etchants, complicated chemical synthesis, or complex lithographic techniques. Upon release, the microsized 2D film is shown to reconfigure into a 3D structure caused by a mismatch in the properties of the individual layers. The actuation of the bilayer film can be triggered by partial swelling due to absorption of water or by partial expansion of one of the layers due to an increase in temperature.

Abstract
Polymeric reverse osmosis membranes were modified with antifouling polymer brushes through a 'layer by layer' (LBL) mediated method. Based on pure physical electrostatic interaction, the attachment of LBL films did not alter separation performance of the membranes. In addition, the incorporation of an LBL film also helped to amplify the number of potential reaction sites on the membrane surfaces for attachment of antifouling polymer brushes, which were then attached to the surface. Attachment of the brushes included two different approaches, grafting to and grafting from. Attenuated total reflectance-Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (ATR-FTIR), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and water contact angle measurements showed successful growth of the LBL films and subsequently the polymer brushes. Using this method to modify reverse osmosis membranes, preliminary performance testing showed the antifouling properties of the as-modified membranes were much better than the virgin membrane with no significant loss in water flux and salt rejection.

Abstract
In the present study, the functional fatigue in the commercial SMP Veriflex®, which is associated with repeating up to maximum 40 programming/one-way effect (1WE) cycles, has been examined. The material is characterized by a glass transition temperature ( Tg) of 67°C, above which it looses all its strength. An interesting comparative investigation on thermomechanical cycles, including programming, cooling, unloading, and heating to trigger the 1WE, were carried out for Veriflex at 62°C ( T < Tg, below 5°C but near to Tg) and also at 72°C ( T > Tg, above 5°C but near to Tg) for strains of 140% and for a recovery time of 10 min. Accumulation of strain was estimated during the thermomechanical treatments for using strains of 140% at 62°C ( T < Tg) as well as at 72°C ( T > Tg). Recovery ratios for strains of 140% at 62°C ( T < Tg) as well as at 72°C ( T > Tg) were also estimated. It turns out that programming, cooling, unloading, and heating to trigger the 1WE causes an increase in irreversible strain and is associated with a corresponding decrease in the intensity of the 1WE in particular during the first thermomechanical cycles. Confocal laser scanning microscopic) study shows a very little wavy surface structure evolved during cycling up to strains of 140% at 72°C ( T > Tg). Infrared study features the chemical nature after cycling, processing, and programming of Veriflex.
