The nanoscopic confinement effect of hard neutral or attractive walls on the dynamics of polymer chains in the melt is studied by solid-state NMR. We apply a variety of NMR techniques to the characterization and the elucidation of chain dynamics in true model composites based on self-ordered nanoporous alumina with well-defined geometry and the possibility to tune the properties of the inorganic surface.
The long-time dynamics of entangled melts is significantly different from the bulk and rather anisotropic in a layer of a few nm close to the weakly interacting wall, and that the effect appears to scale with the entanglement spacing. Further preliminary studies demonstrated that these effects are orientation dependent, and also occur for nominally unentangled melts.
We also studied the large-scale diffusion by pulsed-gradient NMR and the infiltration kinetics by confocal fluorescence microscopy where we have monitored the infiltration of dye-doped polymer into self-ordered AAO in situ. Pore-wall modification experiments were verified by quantitative high-resolution NMR.
