## Abstract Hydrated polymer coatings on polymer substrates are common for many biomedical applications, such as tissue engineering constructs, contact lenses, and catheters. The thickness of the coatings can affect the mechanical behavior of the systems and the cellular response, but measuring the

## Abstract **Summary:** The structure and hydrogen bonding of water in the vicinity of a thin film of a sulfobetaine copolymer (poly[(__N__,__N__‐dimethyl‐__N__‐(3‐sulfopropyl)‐3′‐methacrylamidopropanaminium inner salt)‐__ran__‐(butyl methacrylate)], poly(SPB‐__r__‐BMA)), were analyzed with band s
We demonstrate the unusual applications of the recently developed mirage-Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy for nondestructive characterization of polymer coatings, especially on absorbing substrates or very thin coatings, where conventional FTIR techniques tend to fail. The mirage-FTIR
The distribution of chemical species and the degree of orientation in semicrystalline polymer systems have been studied using fast Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) imaging. A variety of poly(ethylene glycol) systems, including pure polymer, high and low molecular weight blends, and blends with amor
