Distinct Thermophysical Properties Associated with Low Molecular Weight Linear and Cyclic Polymers in Bulk and Confined States: Tg, Fragility, and Thin Film Stability

Description:

Significant deviations in the glass transition temperature (Tg) of nanoconfined polymer films from the bulk have been studied for over twenty years with the focus on high molecular weight (MW), linear polymers. This thesis explores low MW polymers, which represent an important class of materials widely used as coatings, detergents,...
