The foundation of this utility depends crucially on the sensitivity of NEXAFS to the specific chemical structure of the polymer. Furthermore, for quantitative compositional analysis, reliable reference spectra with known energy resolution and calibrated energy scale are required. We report a set of NEXAFS spectra from 24 common polymers that represent a range of chemical functionalities in order to create a database of calibrated polymer NEXAFS spectra to be used for compositional analysis. These spectra illustrate the sensitivity of NEXAFS spectroscopy to the polymer composition, illustrating the potential of NEXAFS for chemical analysis.}, number={1}, journal={JOURNAL OF ELECTRON SPECTROSCOPY AND RELATED PHENOMENA}, author={Dhez, O and Ade, H and Urquhart, SG}, year={2003}, month={Jan}, pages={85–96} }

The surface and domain structures were studied by atomic force microscopy (AFM), scanning transmission X-ray microscopy (STXM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) for various levels of loading of nanotubes up to 20 wt%. Phase-separated domain size and surface roughness of the nanocomposite films were found to be dramatically reduced relative to the pure homopolymer blend and good dispersal of the nanotubes in the blend matrix was attained.}, number={7}, journal={POLYMER}, author={Zhang, W and Ge, S and Wang, Y and Rafailovich, MH and Dhez, O and Winesett, DA and Ade, H and Shafi, KVPM and Ulman, A and Popovitz-Biro, R and et al.}, year={2003}, month={Mar}, pages={2109–2115} }

Several of the usual shear-induced orientations of the lamellar phase were observed as a function of temperature and shear rate. It is suggested that the corresponding dynamical transitions are consistent with a variation in size of the defects.}, number={6}, journal={EUROPHYSICS LETTERS}, author={Dhez, O and Nallet, F and Diat, O}, year={2001}, month={Sep}, pages={821–826} }
