Combined in-situ spectroscopic and electrochemical studies of interfacial and interphasial reactions during adsorption and de-adhesion of polymer films on metals PhD Thesis Dr. rer. nat. Faculty of Science at the University of Paderborn Submitted by Monika Santa from Düsseldorf Paderborn, July 2010 Submitted: 14 May 2010 Defence: 22 June 2010 First referee: Prof. Dr.-Ing. Guido Grundmeier Second referee: Prof. Dr. Wolfgang Bremser Acknowledgement The present work was performed at the Max-Planck-Institut für Eisenforschung in the working group of Prof. Dr.-Ing. Guido Grundmeier. I would like to thank him for the opportunity to work under his supervision in Düsseldorf and Paderborn. With his support and productive discussions he helped me to improve my scientific work and conclude my PhD. Prof. Dr. Wolfgang Bremser gets my acknowledgment for refereeing my thesis and his comments. I would like to thank Dr. Ralf Posner for many fruitful discussions and an efficient cooperation. Further, I would like to thank Dr.-Ing. Haybat Itani. In our collaboration I had the opportunity to learn a lot about polyelectrolyte systems. I am grateful to my dear collegues Dr. Nicole Fink, Dipl.-Chem. Katharina Pohl, M.Sc. Julia Lengsfeld, Olesja Stöhr, Dr. Patrick Keil, Dr.-Ing. Juan Zuo, Dr. Markus Valtiner and Dipl.-Phys.
