Glass Transition Temperature and Conformational Changes of Poly(methyl methacrylate) Thin Films Determined by a Two-Dimensional Map Representation of Temperature-Dependent Reflection−Absorption FTIR Spectra

Abstract: Temperature-dependent reflection−absorption Fourier transform infrared spectra of poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) thin films were measured. From these spectra, two-dimensional (2D) maps of the first derivative of the absorbance with respect to temperature over the space of wavenumber and temperature were constructed. These maps were used to determine the glass transition temperature and to investigate the subtle temperature dependence of the population of trans and gauche conformers in three PMMA thin films w… Show more

“…Therefore, upon crystallization, it undergoes a significant volumetric shrinkage [17,18]. In comparison to PEG, PMMA is an amorphous polymer having glass transition temperature of 106°C [19]. In the PEG/PMMA blends, solidification leads to segregation of PEG, concomitant of simultaneous rejection of the amorphous component [20].…”

“…The two dimensional mapping technique, is a simple mathematical treatment on a data set of spectra, A(x,y), where x and y are variables, has been presented by Shin et al [28] The x variable is usually wavenumber and y variable can be temperature, [28] UV exposure energy, [29] and so on. This technique is based on taking the first derivative of absorption with respect to the related variable, d(x,y)=dy, and then plotting the first derivative as a function of independent variables x and y.…”

“…This technique is based on taking the first derivative of absorption with respect to the related variable, d(x,y)=dy, and then plotting the first derivative as a function of independent variables x and y. [28,29] Resolving the overlapped bands and also interpret the complex spectra changes during photoreactions induced by UV light irradiation is possible by using of two-dimensional map technique. [29] The two-dimensional map technique was used successfully in various spectroscopy studies such as determination the glass transition temperature of poly (methyl methacrylate) thin film, [28] study of photoreaction in a nanoscale film, [29] and study the thermal behaviour of a copolymer.…”
