Amorphous solid dispersions (ASDs) are popular for enhancing the solubility and
bioavailability of poorly water-soluble drugs. Various approaches have been employed to …

Polymer coatings of nanometric thickness are about to enter in everyday life as part of a
wide range of applications such as protective layers, stimuli-responsive membranes or as …

In this article, the effects of size and confinement at the nanometre size scale on both the
melting temperature, T m, and the glass transition temperature, T g, are reviewed. Although …

We survey results of computer simulations for the structure and dynamics of supercooled
polymer melts and films. Our survey is mainly concerned with features of a coarse grained …

The glass transition temperature T g and the temperature T α corresponding to the peak in
the dielectric loss due to the α process have been simultaneously determined as functions of …

Application of amorphous solid dispersions (ASDs) is considered one of the most promising
approaches to increase the dissolution rate and extent of bioavailability of poorly water …

The glass transition temperature (T g) of polymer thin films, one of the most important
parameters to characterize the relaxation behavior of polymer chains in a thin film, has been …

We report results of glass transition (T g) measurements for polymer thin films using atomic
force microscopy (AFM). The AFM mode, shear modulation force microscopy (SMFM) …

Two challenging scientific disciplines, ie, the physics of glasses [Anderson, Science 267,
1615 (1995); Kennedy and Norman, Science 309, 75 (2005)] and interface chemistry …

This review covers some key concepts related to embedding of the noble metal
nanoparticles in polymer surfaces. The metal nanoparticles embedded into the polymer …
