Spatially heterogeneous dynamics in supercooled liquids

MD Ediger - Annual review of physical chemistry, 2000 - annualreviews.org
Although it has long been recognized that dynamics in supercooled liquids might be
spatially heterogeneous, only in the past few years has clear evidence emerged to support …

Effects of confinement on material behaviour at the nanometre size scale

M Alcoutlabi, GB McKenna - Journal of Physics: Condensed …, 2005 - iopscience.iop.org
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 …

Highly stretchable polymer semiconductor films through the nanoconfinement effect

J Xu, S Wang, GJN Wang, C Zhu, S Luo, L **, X Gu… - Science, 2017 - science.org
Soft and conformable wearable electronics require stretchable semiconductors, but existing
ones typically sacrifice charge transport mobility to achieve stretchability. We explore a …

Polymer-silicate nanocomposites: model systems for confined polymers and polymer brushes

EP Giannelis, R Krishnamoorti, E Manias - Polymers in confined …, 1999 - Springer
The static and dynamic properties of polymer-layered silicate nanocomposites are
discussed, in the context of polymers in confined spaces and polymer brushes. A wide range …

The distribution of glass-transition temperatures in nanoscopically confined glass formers

CJ Ellison, JM Torkelson - Nature materials, 2003 - nature.com
Despite the decade-long study of the effect of nanoconfinement on the glass-transition
temperature (T g) of amorphous materials, the quest to probe the distribution of T gs in …

Interface and surface effects on the glass-transition temperature in thin polymer films

AL Richard - Faraday Discussions, 1994 - pubs.rsc.org
We have measured the thickness dependence of the glass-transition temperature (Tg) of
thin films of poly (methyl methacrylate)(PMMA) by using spectroscopic ellipsometry to detect …

Effect of free surfaces on the glass transition temperature of thin polymer films

JA Forrest, K Dalnoki-Veress, JR Stevens, JR Dutcher - Physical review letters, 1996 - APS
We report the first measurements of the glass transition temperature T g for thin freely
standing polystyrene (PS) films. We have used Brillouin light scattering to measure T g for …

[BOOK][B] The glass transition: relaxation dynamics in liquids and disordered materials

E Donth - 2013 - books.google.com
The glass transition is well known to glass makers or from the common ex perience of drying
a used chewing gum. A liquid melt or a rubber becomes a solid glass when its temperature …

Glass transition of polymers in bulk, confined geometries, and near interfaces

S Napolitano, E Glynos, NB Tito - Reports on Progress in Physics, 2017 - iopscience.iop.org
When cooled or pressurized, polymer melts exhibit a tremendous reduction in molecular
mobility. If the process is performed at a constant rate, the structural relaxation time of the …
