By examining several series of systematically varied SiOx/polycarbonate composites, we have identified design correlations between coating characteristics (thickness, density, surface roughness, and O2 transmission) and deposition conditions (time, power, pressure, and flow rates). Of particular interest is the observation that the thermal activation energy for O2 permeation through these composites increases (by up to 17 kJ/mol) as their barrier efficacy increases.}, number={3}, journal={JOURNAL OF MATERIALS RESEARCH}, author={Erlat, AG and Wang, BC and Spontak, RJ and Tropsha, Y and Mar, KD and Montgomery, DB and Vogler, EA}, year={2000}, month={Mar}, pages={704–717} } @article{wang_tropsha_montgomery_vogler_spontak_1999, title={Enhanced barrier performance of SiOx-modified polymer substrates: some morphological considerations}, volume={18}, ISSN={["0261-8028"]}, DOI={10.1023/A:1006687324051}, number={4}, journal={JOURNAL OF MATERIALS SCIENCE LETTERS}, author={Wang, BC and Tropsha, Y and Montgomery, DB and Vogler, EA and Spontak, RJ}, year={1999}, month={Feb}, pages={311–315} } @article{wang_spontak_1997, title={Phase behaviour of aqueous hydroxypropylcellulose mesophase mixtures: Molecular weight considerations}, volume={22}, ISSN={["0267-8292"]}, DOI={10.1080/026782997209432}, abstractNote={As a self-organizing macromolecule, hydroxypropylcellulose serves as an excellent candidate for studies of complex polymer mixtures. In this work, we examine aqueous mixtures composed of two hydroxypropylcellulose grades, Klucel-F (HPC) and Klucel-H (HHPC), with molecular weights of 10 5 and 10 6 g mol - 1, respectively. Polarized light microscopy and deuterium nuclear magnetic resonance have been utilized to ascertain changes in the chiral nematic mesophase of HPC upon addition of 15 wt% HHPC. Results obtained here suggest that the HHPC either disrupts the molecular organization of the HPC mesophase, or induces immiscibility and partitions between HPC- and HHPC-rich phases.}, number={3}, journal={LIQUID CRYSTALS}, author={Wang, BC and Spontak, RJ}, year={1997}, month={Mar}, pages={359–365} } @article{prevysh_wang_khan_spontak_1997, title={Salting-in behavior of isotropic and anisotropic aqueous hydroxypropylcellulose solutions}, volume={275}, ISSN={["0303-402X"]}, DOI={10.1007/s003960050082}, number={3}, journal={COLLOID AND POLYMER SCIENCE}, author={Prevysh, VA and Wang, BC and Khan, SA and Spontak, RJ}, year={1997}, month={Mar}, pages={284–287} }
