Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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 role for observed dynamical anomalies. However, how and how much the interfacial properties affect the average dynamics of the nanometer scale systems are still elusive. In this work, we developed several novel techniques to investigate near-free-surface dynamics of thin polymer films. We studied surface dynamics of glassy i-PMMA films using a nano surface hole relaxation technique: a strong substrate property dependence and an unexpected molecular weight dependence were observed; we found that a local Tg of ~40K below bulk Tg could be assigned to the surface region. We used nano gold particle embedding to study PS surface dynamics: enhanced surface dynamics and weak temperature dependence were observed for the surface region; a depth profile with the nm resolution was observed; viscous liquid-like and soft solid-like properties were observed in the first 5.5nm and next 3.3 nm regions in PS films; no molecualr weight dependence was found in glassy PS films. We built a low level noise measurement system to study the thermal polarization noise in PVAc films: cooperative rearranging dynamics were evidenced; the noise power spectral density (PSD) is found to fluctuate around a certain average level without discernable peak shift; we observed some relatively big jumps or fluctuations in successive integrated PSD's, which indicate some energy exchange between different microscopic domains in glassy polymer systems. We developed a novel nano rheology AFM technique to study the near-free-surface dynamics of thin polymer films: enhanced near-free-surface dynamics with weak temperature dependence are observed for PVAc films, which is similar with the PS case.

Book excerpt: "the present book will be of great value for both newcomers to the field and mature active researchers by serving as a coherent and timely introduction to some of the modern approaches, ideas, results, emerging understanding, and many open questions in this fascinating field of polymer glasses, supercooled liquids, and thin films" –Kenneth S. Schweizer, Morris Professor of Materials Science & Engineering, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign (from the Foreword) This book provides a timely and comprehensive overview of molecular level insights into polymer glasses in confined geometries and under deformation. Polymer glasses have become ubiquitous to our daily life, from the polycarbonate eyeglass lenses on the end of our nose to large acrylic glass panes holding water in aquarium tanks, with advantages over glass in that they are lightweight and easy to manufacture, while remaining transparent and rigid. The contents include an introduction to the field, as well as state of the art investigations. Chapters delve into studies of commonalities across different types of glass formers (polymers, small molecules, colloids, and granular materials), which have enabled microscopic and molecular level frameworks to be developed. The authors show how glass formers are modeled across different systems, thereby leading to treatments for polymer glasses with first-principle based approaches and molecular level detail. Readers across disciplines will benefit from this topical overview summarizing the key areas of polymer glasses, alongside an introduction to the main principles and approaches.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How polymers behave near the glass transition is one of the deepest questions in condensed matter physics. In the past two decades, the surface dynamics, glass transition, and crystallization of polymer thin films have attracted much attention as they are not only scientific questions but also fundamentals of modern polymer industry. However, there are still many phenomena that are not clear, such as whether the glass transition is a real phase transition; whether there is an enhanced mobile layer near the free surface and how thick it is; whether the glass transition temperature reduction is caused by the free surface; whether some polymers cannot crystallize; etc. Here we try to gain insight into these questions. In this thesis, there are six chapters. The first chapter is introduction, in which some basic concepts and a literature review are presented. The second chapter contains the experimental details, in which the experimental techniques and data analysis methods are discussed. Chapter three, four, and five focus on three different research areas; however, these topics are related to each other. In chapter three, we conduct a novel stepped film levelling experiment to study the surface dynamics of polymer films near the glass transition temperature, in which several subtopics are involved, such as molecular weight dependent levelling, levelling under soft confinement, and ultra-thin films levelling. In chapter four, we find the direct evidence of the crystallization of atactic polystyrene, and systematically study the growth and melting kinetics of these crystals. In chapter five, the thermal expansivity of polystyrene thin films is measured using ellipsometry. These results confirm the validity of the recently proposed simple model, which connects the existence of an enhanced mobile layer near the free surface to the glass transition temperature reduction in thin films. The last chapter is concluding remarks and future work, in which a brief summary is included and some possible future studies are proposed.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The surface dynamics of thin polymer films were tailored via tethering a fraction of the chains to the supporting substrate. This fractionally tethered state was called a "partially tethered film". A partially tethered film was prepared by coating an untethered chain layer on top of a tethered chain layer, followed by annealing. The tethered chain layers for this study had values of grafting density smaller than 0.15 chains/nm2. This low grafting density provided better miscibility between untethered and tethered chains, as compared to previous work with densely grafted brushes, therefore allowing the untethered chains to penetrate to the substrate region. Partially tethered films had slower surface fluctuation dynamics than did corresponding untethered reference films. These tailored surface dynamics after partial tethering were indicated by variations in surface relaxation time measured with X-ray photon correlation spectroscopy. Using the hydrodynamic continuum theory, the surface relaxation behavior of each sample was rationalized. However, since the hydrodynamic continuum theory hypothesizes a homogeneous viscous layer, it is not perfectly applicable to partially tethered films. To address this problem, the surface dynamics of the partially tethered film were described with models designed to account for various effects. A confinement effect due to the covalent bonds between the polymer layer and the substrate was described by modeling the hydrodynamics of a layer adjacent to the substrate and containing a substantial fraction of tethered chains as being extremely slow. The surface dynamics of a partially tethered film for which surface relaxation could still be observed was explained using a two-layer model composed of a top layer of untethered chains moving essentially like bulk untethered chains on top of the bottom layer with very slow dynamics designed to capture the effect of tethering. For sufficiently thick films this model looks very much like that already described by others for the flow of solvent past a solvent swollen layer of adsorbed polymer chains. However, as the partially tethered film becomes thinner, a more complicated model is required. At the least, the thickness of the layer with very slow hydrodynamics has to be varied as a fitting parameter and can become as large as the entire film thickness in some cases. We attribute this behavior to a "neighboring layer" effect. That is, the dynamics of the nominally untethered top layer are slowed by the influence of the practically immobile lower layer. The width of the interface between the top region of nearly pure untethered chains and the bottom region rich in tethered chains apparently plays an important role. When the degree of interpenetration between the two regions is altered by varying miscibility between the tethered and untethered chains, through the control of molecular weights or the segment-segment exchange interaction parameter, [chi], the surface dynamics can be strongly impacted. The relationship of the glass transition temperatures (T [subscript g]) of the tethered and untethered chains to one another was yet another parameter found to influence the tethering effect. When an oligiomeric untethered chain was used, the plasticization of the overall film by the low T[subscript g] untethered material dominated in determining the surface dynamics in the range of temperatures studied. More realistically accounting for all these effects requires a gradient model envisioning a gradual change in dynamical properties with depth into the film.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a treatise on the thermodynamic and dynamic properties of thin liquid films at solid surfaces and, in particular, their rupture instabilities. For the quantitative study of these phenomena, polymer thin films (sometimes referred to as “ultrathin”) have proven to be an invaluable experimental model system. What is it that makes thin film instabilities special and interesting? First, thin polymeric films have an important range of applications. An understanding of their instabilities is therefore of practical relevance for the design of such films. The first chapter of the book intends to give a snapshot of current applications, and an outlook on promising future ones. Second, thin liquid films are an interdisciplinary research topic, which leads to a fairly heterogeneous community working on the topic. It justifies attempting to write a text which gives a coherent presentation of the field which researchers across their specialized communities might be interested in. Finally, thin liquid films are an interesting laboratory for a theorist to confront a well-established theory, hydrodynamics, with its limits. Thin films are therefore a field in which a highly fruitful exchange and collaboration exists between experimentalists and theorists. The book stretches from the more concrete to more abstract levels of study: we roughly progress from applications via theory and experiment to rigorous mathematical theory. For an experimental scientist, the book should serve as a reference and guide to what is the current consensus of the theoretical underpinnings of the field of thin film dynamics. Controversial problems on which such a consensus has not yet been reached are clearly indicated in the text, as well as discussed in a final chapter. From a theoretical point of view, the field of dewetting has mainly been treated in a mathematically ‘light’ yet elegant fashion, often making use of scaling arguments. For the untrained researcher, this approach is not always easy to follow. The present book attempts to bridge between the ‘light’ and the ‘rigorous’, always with the ambition to enhance insight and understanding - and to not let go the elegance of the theory.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book deals with those properties of non-equilibrium soft matter that deviate greatly from the bulk properties as a result of nanoscale confinement.The ultimate physical origin of these confinement effects is not yet fully understood. At the state of the art, the discussion on confinement effects focuses on equilibrium properties, finite size effects and interfacial interactions. However this is a limited vision which does not fully capture the peculiar behaviour of soft matter under confinement and some exotic phenomena that are displayed. This volume will be organized in the following three main themes. Equilibration and physical aging: treating non-equilibrium via the formal methodology of statistical physics in bulk, we analyse physical origin of the non-equilibrium character of thin polymer. We then focus on the impact of nanoconfinement on the equilibration of glasses of soft matter (a process of tremendous technological interest, commonly known as physical aging), comparing the latest trends of polymers in experiments, simulations with those of low-molecular weight glass formers. Irreversible adsorption: the formation of stable adsorbed layers occurs at timescales much larger than the time necessary to equilibrate soft matter in bulk. Recent experimental evidence show a strong correlation between the behaviour of polymers under confinement and the presence of a layer irreversibly adsorbed onto the substrate. This correlation hints at the possibility to tailor the properties of ultrathin films by controlling the adsorption kinetics. The book reports physical aspects of irreversible chain adsorption, such as the dynamics, structure, morphology, and crystallization of adsorbed layers. Glass transition and material properties: this section of the book focuses on the spread of absolute values in materials properties of confined systems, when measured by different experimental and computation techniques and a new method to quantify the effects of confinement in thin films and nanocomposites independently on the investigation procedure will be presented.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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 treatment. The second experiment, which is the real focus of this thesis, applies gold nanoparticles in the study of the free surface dynamics of glassy thin films. Gold nanoparticles have the ability to strongly absorb the energy in an incident laser beam and convert that energy into heat. Photothermal therapy is a proposed cancer treatment which exploits this ability to irreparably damage cancerous tissues surrounding gold nanoparticles. In the first chapter of this thesis we explain an experiment designed to probe the local temperatures achieved in such a process. Gold nanoparticles are used to stabilize the boundary of an inverse micelle system which contains an aqueous fluorescent dye solution on it's interior. A temperature dependent fluorescence intensity allows us to probe the temperature changes induced by laser irradiation. In the remainder of this thesis we describe a separate experiment involving the use of gold nanoparticles to study the free surface dynamics of thin glassy films. There is a growing body of evidence in the literature that thin polymer films in the glassy state exhibit heterogeneous dynamics; specifically that the first few nanometers from an air-polymer interface exhibit enhanced mobility relative to the interior of the film. The underlying mechanism responsible for this enhanced mobility remains elusive, however some believe it to be a direct consequence of the polymeric nature of these films. We describe in detail an experiment aimed at addressing this concern. We deposit gold nanoparticles onto the surface of a molecular (non-polymeric) glassy film and monitor their behaviour upon heating using atomic force microscopy. Our results clearly show the existence of enhanced surface mobility in the system studied and provide strong evidence that enhanced surface mobility should be expected in all glass forming systems.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The progress in polymer science is revealed in the chapters of Polymer Science: A Comprehensive Reference, Ten Volume Set. In Volume 1, this is reflected in the improved understanding of the properties of polymers in solution, in bulk and in confined situations such as in thin films. Volume 2 addresses new characterization techniques, such as high resolution optical microscopy, scanning probe microscopy and other procedures for surface and interface characterization. Volume 3 presents the great progress achieved in precise synthetic polymerization techniques for vinyl monomers to control macromolecular architecture: the development of metallocene and post-metallocene catalysis for olefin polymerization, new ionic polymerization procedures, and atom transfer radical polymerization, nitroxide mediated polymerization, and reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer systems as the most often used controlled/living radical polymerization methods. Volume 4 is devoted to kinetics, mechanisms and applications of ring opening polymerization of heterocyclic monomers and cycloolefins (ROMP), as well as to various less common polymerization techniques. Polycondensation and non-chain polymerizations, including dendrimer synthesis and various "click" procedures, are covered in Volume 5. Volume 6 focuses on several aspects of controlled macromolecular architectures and soft nano-objects including hybrids and bioconjugates. Many of the achievements would have not been possible without new characterization techniques like AFM that allowed direct imaging of single molecules and nano-objects with a precision available only recently. An entirely new aspect in polymer science is based on the combination of bottom-up methods such as polymer synthesis and molecularly programmed self-assembly with top-down structuring such as lithography and surface templating, as presented in Volume 7. It encompasses polymer and nanoparticle assembly in bulk and under confined conditions or influenced by an external field, including thin films, inorganic-organic hybrids, or nanofibers. Volume 8 expands these concepts focusing on applications in advanced technologies, e.g. in electronic industry and centers on combination with top down approach and functional properties like conductivity. Another type of functionality that is of rapidly increasing importance in polymer science is introduced in volume 9. It deals with various aspects of polymers in biology and medicine, including the response of living cells and tissue to the contact with biofunctional particles and surfaces. The last volume is devoted to the scope and potential provided by environmentally benign and green polymers, as well as energy-related polymers. They discuss new technologies needed for a sustainable economy in our world of limited resources. Provides broad and in-depth coverage of all aspects of polymer science from synthesis/polymerization, properties, and characterization methods and techniques to nanostructures, sustainability and energy, and biomedical uses of polymers Provides a definitive source for those entering or researching in this area by integrating the multidisciplinary aspects of the science into one unique, up-to-date reference work Electronic version has complete cross-referencing and multi-media components Volume editors are world experts in their field (including a Nobel Prize winner)
