Dynamics of polymer thin films and surfaces
(University of Waterloo, 2007-05-18)The dynamics of thin polymer films display many differences from the bulk dynamics. Different modes of motions in polymers are affected by confinement in different ways. The enhancement in the dynamics of some modes of ... -
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 ...
