On near-free-surface dynamics of thin polymer films
(University of Waterloo, 2009-04-24)Studies show that dynamical properties of ultra-thin polymer films deviate from those of bulk materials. Despite some controversial issues, there is growing evidence indicating that the interfacial properties play a key ... -
Surface Dynamics, Glass Transition, and Crystallization of Atactic Polystyrene
(University of Waterloo, 2016-08-29)How polymers behave near the glass transition is one of the deepest questions in condensed matter physics. In the past two decades, the surface dynamics, glass transition, and crystallization of polymer thin films have ...
