L. Bellard et al., XANES STUDY OF METAL-POLYMER INTERFACES - STANDARD SURFACE AND FIRST METALLIZATION STAGES, Journal de physique. IV, 4(C9), 1994, pp. 221-225
We have studied, by X-ray absorption near edge spectroscopy (XANES), t
he properties of untreated and chromium metallized surface of polyphen
ylquinoxaline (PPQ). Using reference compounds such as 2,2'-biquinolin
e, we point out that the terminal phenyl rings of the polymer are norm
al to the surface of pristine PPQ. Moreover, it is shown that chromium
/polymer interaction induces a reorientation of these terminal phenyl
rings parallel to the polymer unit mean plane.
