FTIR study of polycaprolactone chain organization at interfaces
Abstract
Polycaprolactone (PCL), extensively known as a biomaterial, is the subject of this paper. Knowing well that some biomaterial applications exhibit specific chain organization, we focused our study on the orientation of PCL chains when this polymer is adsorbed (spin-coated) on inert substrates such as gold-coated glass slides. The main technique allowing adsorbed thin films analysis that we chose is polarization-modulation infrared reflection-absorption spectroscopy (PM-IRRAS), which permits qualitative and quantitative determination of chain anisotropy in the confined layers at the interface. Based on our spectroscopic results, we achieved an adsorption model of PCL chains and we calculated orientation angles with respect to the substrate normal. Calculated values show a quasi-perpendicular deposition of PCL chains on the gold substrate. Moreover, PCL thin films remain highly crystalline, a fact which could be the basis of the important anisotropy of PCL chains.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
