Enhanced Dynamics at the Free Surface of a Molecular Glass Film
(University of Waterloo, 2010-10-07)In this thesis we describe two separate experiments involving the use of gold nanoparticles. The first experiment looks at the use of gold nanoparticles as a localized heat source and the potential application as a cancer ... -
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 ...
