Water-based polymer coatings usually exhibit poor adhesion performance compared to their
solvent-based counterparts. Unveiling the difference in interface structures between water …

Polymer adhesion with inorganic materials is a key technology for realizing the
diversification of materials. When a polymer contacts with inorganic materials, a layer …

The interfacial strength of polystyrene (PS) with and without PS oligomers in contact with a
glass substrate was examined to determine the relationship between the interfacial …

The effects of the grafting densities (σp), molecular weights (Mn) and thicknesses of dry
polystyrene (PS) brushes on their glass transition temperature (Tbrushg) were investigated …

The properties of substrate-supported polymer films are strongly related to the properties of
the substrate. This work studies the dynamic propagation depth of the substrate effect in …

The solid–polymer melt interface is of great scientific interest due to its vital importance in
governing a wide array of physical and mechanical properties of polymer thin films. Recent …

We investigated the swelling behaviors of poly (vinyl alcohol)(PVA) films deposited on Si
wafers with water vapor, which is a good solvent for PVA for elucidating structural and …

A combination of nanosized dielectric relaxation (BDS) and thermal spectroscopy (SHS) was
utilized to characterize the dynamics of thin films of poly (vinyl methyl ether)(PVME) …

We report a mobility gradient of polymer chains in close proximity of a planar solid substrate
in compressed carbon dioxide (CO2) gas. A series of bilayers composed of bottom …

Thermally activated flow dynamics of polystyrene films supported by silicon is studied for a
wide range of film thickness (h 0) and molecular weights (M w). At low M w, the effective …
