摘要: The physical properties of thin polymer films are often thickness, h, dependent, influenced by confinement and interfacial interactions between the chains external interfaces. We show that magnitude film thickness dependence average glass transition temperature, Tg, polystyrene−silicon oxide (PS/SiOx/Si) system appreciably with addition polystyrene-b-poly(methyl methacrylate) (PS-b-PMMA) diblock copolymers. Tg can be “tailored” to increase, or decrease, decreasing h remain independent h. shifts as much 35 °C obtained for ≈ 20 nm. Additionally, we report critical micelle concentration, φcmc, copolymer in is considerably larger than bulk; specifically, micelles form only beyond a determined size number system. not ϕcmc this
