Abstract Details

2000, MS, University of Cincinnati, Engineering : Materials Science.
There has been an increasing need and great interest in both fundamental science and cutting-edge technology to modify the surfaces of nanoparticles. Such a surface modification must be within a nanoscale in terms of structure, composition, and uniformity. The great challenge therefore lies critically on the deposition of a film on the order of a few nanometers on the surfaces of the nanoparticles. In this thesis, the uniform deposition of ultrathin polymer films of 2 nm on the surfaces of alumina nanoparticles by plasma polymerization was demonstrated. The deposited film can also be tailored to multi-layers. One layer to three layers has been tried in the experiments. Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), High Resolution Electron Microscopy (HREM), Time-of-flight Secondary Ion Mass Spectroscopy (TOF-SIMS), X-ray Diffraction (XRD) and Micro hardness were used to confirm the pyrrole coating on the nanoparticle surfaces, the surface morphology and the mechanical properties. Using such a nanocoating, it opens a window to alter the intrinsic properties of materials that cannot be achieved by conventional methods and materials.
