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) …

Broadband dielectric spectroscopy (BDS) was employed to investigate the glassy dynamics
of thin films (7–200 nm) of a poly (vinyl methyl ether)(PVME)/polystyrene (PS) blend (50: 50 …

The thermodynamic behavior of thin Poly (vinyl methyl ether)(PVME) films including the
irreversible adsorbed layer on the substrate is investigated. In the first step, the growth …

In this report, we use ellipsometry to characterize the glass transition in ultra-thin films of poly
(2-vinyl pyridine)(P2VP) supported on a silicon substrate. P2VP is known to have attractive …

Specific heat spectroscopy (SHS) employing AC nanochip calorimetry was used to
investigate the glassy dynamics of ultra-thin films (thicknesses: 10 nm–340 nm) of a polymer …

The influence of interfacial interactions and annealing time on dynamics of the α-relaxation
in ultrathin poly (vinyl acetate) films deposited on different substrates has been studied using …

This study examines the origin of the widely different length scales, ht—nanometers to
micrometers—that have been observed for the propagation of the near-surface enhanced …

The segmental dynamics of poly (vinyl acetate)(PVAc) thin films were measured in the
presence of an aluminum interface and in contact with an incompatible polymer, poly (4 …

We investigated the impact of irreversible adsorption on the mechanisms of thermal
expansion of 1D confined polymer layers. For spincoated films (polystyrene on aluminum) of …

Here, we report results from an investigation of nano-scale size or confinement effects on the
glass transition and viscoelastic properties of physical vapor deposited selenium films. The …
