	abstract = {X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) was used to investigate the interfacial chemistries occurring in a prototype two-layer polymer light-emitting diode that had been fabricated from PPV and Nafion with ion-exchanged Ru(bpy)(3)(2 +) Magnesium and indium tin oxide (ITO) were used as electrodes, and XPS observations were made as the different layers were added sequentially. 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. All rights reserved.},

	abstract = {X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) was used to study two interfaces formed between polyethyleneterephthalate (PET) and thin layers of aluminum and zirconium deposited under ultrahigh vacuum conditions. The thicknesses of these layers were estimated to be about 10 and 4 Angstrom respectively. The interpretations were guided by difference spectra, especially for the Zr system, and it was concluded that different interactions operate at these two PET-metal interfaces. For the amounts deposited, Zr bonds especially to O atoms in PET, whereas Al beads to both C and O atoms; the latter metal shows both tending to carbonyl groups and direct Al-C bonding to the benzene-like rings. Comparisons were made for the behaviors of these systems on exposure to oxygen, and they were compared further with related systems.},
