Interfacial reaction of a maleic anhydride grafted polyolefin with ethylene vinyl alcohol copolymer at the buried solid/solid interface

John S. Andre et al.

Summary: The research utilized sum frequency generation (SFG) vibrational spectroscopy to study chemical interactions at buried interfaces between two polymers, demonstrating that SFG can non-destructively probe chemical reactions at buried interfaces in real-time. These interfacial reactions are crucial for enhancing the functionality and properties of polymer/polymer interfaces.
