Printedonacid-freepaper SpringerispartofSpringerScience+BusinessMedia(www.springer.com) Preface Godmadethebulk;surfaceswereinventedbythedevil WolfgangPauli1 It is somewhatsurprising,in our opinion,that this book,to thebest of our knowl- edge, is the first to be devoted to the surface properties and behavior of silicone polymers.Thesituationisallthemoreperplexingwhenoneconsidersthatsurface- relatedapplicationshaveconsistentlyaccountedforthemajorpartofthecommer- cialsuccessofsiliconessincetheestablishmentofthisindustryintheearly1940s. The importance of surfaces and interfacial phenomena cannot be overempha- sized.Whenanytwomaterialsarebroughttogetheritistheirsurfacesthatinitially matterandtheirinterfacialinteractionsthatneedtobestudiedandunderstoodfirst. Therefore,inordertocontributetothis,inthisbookweattempttopresentabroad overviewofthestate-of-the-artofsiliconesurfacesciencebyagroupofwidelyrec- ognizedexpertsintheirfieldssummarizingboththehistoricaldevelopmentandthe currentprogressineachselectedarea.Withalmost70yearsofscientificandtech- nologicalinterestinsiliconeswecanhardlyclaimtoberigorouslycomprehensive, butwearesurethatthemostexcitingdevelopmentsinthisfieldtodayarecovered inthisvolume. Muchofthecontentofthisbookdealswithpolydimethylsiloxane(PDMS)since it has been the mainstay of the silicone industry from its very beginnings to the present day. Furthermore, looking into the future, while anticipatingcontinued in- terest in and development of other polymers derived from organosilicon entities, thereisnoreasonnottobelievethatthescienceandapplicationsofPDMSandre- latedorganosiloxanepolymerswillcontinuetogrowandplayasimportantaroleas theyhaveinthepast. Asiscommoninthefieldofsilicon-containingpolymers,weusethetermsili- conetodescribepolymerswhosebackboneissiloxane,i.e.alternatingarrangement ofsiliconandoxygenatoms,withpendentorganicgroupsattachedtothatbackbone. Consequently,polyhedraloligomericsilsesquioxanes(POSS),whichcertainlymeet 1Quotedin“Growth,DissolutionandPatternFormationinGeosystems”(1999)byBjornJamtveit andPaulMeakin,p.291. v vi Preface the“alternatingsiloxanebonds”requirement,arenotusuallyconsidered“silicones”, becauseoftheirinsufficientmolecularweightsandfundamentallydifferentmacro- scopicproperties.Nevertheless,weconsidertheseoligomerstobeapropersubject forinclusioninthisvolumebecauseoftheircriticalimportancetosiliconesurface scienceasexplainedindetailintwochaptersdealingwithPOSSderivatives. Whatmightappeartosometobeasomewhatcapriciouschapterorderisbased on our attemptto marry two seemingly “incompatible”concepts: (i) a progressive shiftfromfundamentalstomoreappliedtopics,and(ii)adevelopmentfrom“pure” PDMStootherimportant,surface-activesiliconessuchasfluorosiliconesandmod- ifiedmaterialssuchassurfactantsandcouplingagents.Thebookopenswithagen- eralintroductiontosiliconesurfaceswithanemphasisonthesurfacepropertiesof PDMS.Followingthis,inChap.2AhnandDhinojwaladescribethesumfrequency generationvibrationalspectroscopyofsiliconesurfacesandinterfaces,arelatively recentlyintroducedtechniquethat has providedconsiderablenew insightintosur- facestructureandmostnotablytoburiedinterfacesaswell.Genzerandco-workers havemadegreatstridesincreatingdifferentfunctionalitiesonsiliconesurfacesand their contributions are reviewed in Chap. 3.

Surface treatments such as plasma and corona have been widely exploited in silicone sur- face modification.These are summarized in Chap. 11 by Hillborg and Gedde (see alsoChap.3whichdealswithaspectsofthistopic). Analyticaltechniquesareself-evidentlycentraltounderstandingofsiliconesur- face behavior. A review of these studies with emphasis on X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), secondary ion mass spectrometry (SIMS), scanning electron microscopy(SEM)andscanningprobemicroscopy(SPM)isprovidedbyLeadley, O’HareandMcMillaninChap.12.Finally,weclosewithanoutlineofsomeimpor- tantsurfaceapplicationsofsiliconesrelatingtoboththescienceandtechnologyof siliconesurfaces.Someoftheseapplicationsarealsoincludedinseveraloftheear- lierchapters,underliningadominantthemeofthisbook,therelationshipbetween Preface vii thestructureandsurfacepropertiesofsiliconesandtheirutilizationinvariousevery- dayaswellasmoresophisticatedapplications.
