Specifically, Mg was deposited on a layer of Nafion with incorporated Ru(bpy)(3)(2 +), and this was itself deposited on PPV-coated ITO. The morphology of Nafion, which is dictated by the strongly hydrophilic and hydrophobic groups that compose it, is indicated to rearrange with the incorporation of Ru(bpy)(3)(2 +) this rearrangement appears reinforced when a thin film is deposited on PPV. The Mg deposition results in substantial changes in XPS spectra, in part due to a direct interaction with the fluorocarbon backbone of Nation. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science B.V.

The Mg/PET system showed two types of Mg species, namely an O-Mg-C complex, from reaction with the carbonyl group on PET, and metal-like clusters. The deposition of Al results in intermetallic mixing, which is manifested by alloy formation and Mg enrichment at the surface. It appears that some Al atoms penetrate the Mg region to react with carbonyl groups in the PET and form an interfacial complex with O-Al-C bonding. The stability of this sample was studied on exposing it to air and then rinsing it with water. The metal overlayers are strongly modified by these treatments, although the bonding at the PET interface appears relatively unchanged.}, keywords = {AL-MG ALLOYS, aluminum, conjugated polymers, LIGHT-EMITTING-DIODES, MAGNESIUM, METAL, POLY(P-PHENYLENE VINYLENE), POLYIMIDE INTERFACE, THIN-FILMS, XPS}, isbn = {0218-625X}, url = {://000089446100005}, author = {Kono, M. and Wong, P.
