Glass transition dynamics and surface layer mobility in unentangled polystyrene films

Z Yang, Y Fujii, FK Lee, CH Lam, OKC Tsui - Science, 2010 - science.org
Most polymers solidify into a glassy amorphous state, accompanied by a rapid increase in
the viscosity when cooled below the glass transition temperature (T g). There is an ongoing …

Complex dewetting scenarios captured by thin-film models

J Becker, G Grün, R Seemann, H Mantz, K Jacobs… - Nature materials, 2003 - nature.com
In the course of miniaturization of electronic and microfluidic devices, reliable predictions of
the stability of ultrathin films have a strategic role for design purposes. Consequently …
