The static and dynamic properties of polymer-layered silicate nanocomposites are discussed, in the context of polymers in confined spaces and polymer brushes. A wide range …
The past 20 years have seen a substantial effort to understand dynamics and the glass transition in thin polymer films. In this Perspective, we consider developments in this field …
Highlighting a broad range multiscale modeling and methods for anticipating the morphologies and the properties of interfaces and multiphase materials, this reference …

The spin coating of thin (> 200 nm thick) and ultrathin (< 200 nm thick) polymer films is examined in several solvents of varying volatility over a broad range of polymer solution …
We report the first measurements of the glass transition temperature T g for thin freely standing polystyrene (PS) films. We have used Brillouin light scattering to measure T g for …
The properties of soft-matter thin films (eg liquid films, polymer coatings, Langmuir-Blodgett multilayers) nowadays play an important role in materials science. They are also very …
In this article, we present a detailed account of important recent developments in the rapidly evolving area of glass transitions in thin polymer films. We review the case of polymer films …
We have used Brillouin light scattering and ellipsometry to measure the glass transition temperature T g of thin polystyrene (PS) films as a function of the film thickness h for two …
