Wrinkling of Ultrathin Polymer Films
This paper presents a bilayer model to account for surface effects on the wrinkling of ultrathin polymer films. Assuming a surface layer of finite thickness, effects of surface properties on the critical strain, the equilibrium wavelength, and the wrinkle amplitude are discussed in comparison with conventional analysis. Experimental measurements of wrinkling in polymer films with thickness rang...
متن کاملGlass transition in ultrathin polymer films: a thermal expansion study.
The glass transition process gets affected in ultrathin films having thickness comparable to the size of the molecules. We observe systematic broadening of the glass transition temperature (T(g)) as the thickness of an ultrathin polymer film reduces below the radius of gyration but the change in the average T(g) was found to be very small. The existence of reversible negative and positive therm...
متن کاملElastic Moduli of Ultrathin Amorphous Polymer Films
The elastic moduli of ultrathin poly(styrene) (PS) and poly(methylmethacrylate) (PMMA) films of thickness ranging from 200 nm to 5 nm were investigated using a buckling-based metrology. Below 40 nm, the apparent modulus of the PS and PMMA films decreases dramatically, with an order of magnitude decrease compared to bulk values for the thinnest films measured. We can account for the observed dec...
متن کاملPattern-Directed Dewetting of Ultrathin Polymer Films
We utilize chemically patterned substrates with arrays of progressively narrower stripes (1-15 μm) to investigate the influence of pattern size on the morphology of ultrathin dewetting polystyrene films. The scale and orientation of the spinodal-like height fluctuations of the dewetting patterns are coupled to the imposed substrate chemical frequency, providing a powerful means of morphological...
متن کاملGlass transition in ultrathin polymer films: calorimetric study.
The ultrasensitive differential scanning calorimetry is used to observe the glass transition in thin (1-400 nm) spin-cast films of polystyrene, poly (2-vinyl pyridine) and poly (methyl methacrylate) on a platinum surface. A pronounced glass transition is observed even at a thickness as small as 1-3 nm. Using the high heating (20-200 K/ms) and cooling (1-2 K/ms in glass transition region) rates ...
