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 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 کاملCrystalline polymer ultrathin films from mesoscopic precursors.
Thin and ultrathin crystalline polymer films are of funda mental scientific as well as practical interest concerning their structures and properties. 6] For the preparation of ultrathin ( 0.1 mm) films the polymer is applied to the substrate in a non ordered state, usually as a dilute solution in an organic solvent. To overcome the intra and intermolecular interac tions responsible for crystall...
متن کاملPhase separation of ultrathin polymer-blend films on patterned substrates
The phase separation of ultrathin polymer-blend films of polystyrene and polybutadiene on microcontact printed alkanethiol patterns with hydrophobic and hydrophilic end groups (2CH3 and 2COOH! is investigated by atomic force microscopy. Simulations suggest that the phase-separation morphology can be controlled through patterns that modulate the polymer-surface interaction, and this concept is v...
