This project is in the general area of analytical and surfacechemistry          and in the subfields of mass spectrometry and materialschemistry. This          grant provides funds with which Dr. Hercules willacquire a new                  time-of-flight secondary ion mass spectrometer(TOF-SIMS) which will             enable the high resolution characterizationof polymeric materials,              especially their surfaces and near.surface regions. This project is             expected to provide new rapidand precise methods of polymer analysis.                                                                                           This new TOF-SIMS spectrometer will be the first of its kind inthe              United States.  With an expected resolution of approximately 13,000             and a mass range of up to 20,000 amu, this instrument will enable               rapid determination of molecular weight distributions and the                   determination of the surface composition of polymers. This new                  spectrometer can be expected to heighten the impact of the principal            investigator's related research activities that are currently                   supported under NSF grant CHE-8411835.
