Short description of possible research topics for a PhD:
Molecular-scale interactions between polymers and solid surfaces govern
a large range of processes in soft-matter, from wetting, elastomer and gel
friction, down to confined flows in porous media. These situations are
typically probed at an ensemble level and described by averaged
phenomenological coefficients accounting for the behavior of the
interface, e.g. a slip length in the case of the interfacial friction of a
polymer melt. However, the molecular foundations behind this averaged
vision remain unclear, due to our current inability to experimentally
observe the intrinsically nanoscale molecular processes taking place at
such interfaces. We aim here to bridge this gap by exploring novel
experimental approaches to directly visualize molecular motion in dense
polymeric liquid melts at the nanoscale. We will rely in particular on
state-of-the-art single-molecule and super-resolution fluorescence
microscopy techniques which can be used to localize and track the
motion of individual fluorophores with nanoscale resolution and high
temporal resolution. Preliminary results in our group have focused on the
interfacial dynamics of flowing polymer solutions, demonstrating the
feasibility of our approach for single-macromolecule tracking (Fig. D).
Here, we aim to focus on dense polymeric melts (e.g. PDMS molecules),
whose relaxation time and viscosity can be tuned over large time-scales
through the control of their molecular weight or temperature. A fraction
of these molecules will be tagged with a fluorophore (Fig. B), and by
selectively imaging the interface with an evanescent wave, we will be
able to directly localize their position (Fig. C) and follow their long-term
dynamics. A fine control of the molecular-scale interactions between
polymer chains and surfaces will be obtained by tuning surface
physicochemistry. These single molecule measurements will be coupled
with statistical analysis of the dynamics, allowing ultimately for a detailed
and fundamental understanding and modelling of macromolecular
interactions with solid surfaces. Our measurements will be carried out in
a variety of equilibrium and out-of-equilibrium situations, tackling diverse
scientific question related to liquid friction, triple line and wetting
dynamics or mobility gradients close to solid surfaces.
