Influence of interfaces on thin polymer film behaviour

摘要: Abstract In many ways interfaces and surfaces dominate the behaviour of not only bulk polymers but also thin film behaviour. The critical nature that interface plays on numerous physical properties has stimulated significant effort to understand such A number theoretical models, particularly using mean-field approximations, have been developed predict parameters associated with these surfaces. Only advance a powerful techniques finer details theories able be critically tested. This paper reviews both relevant experimental work predominantly polymer–polymer interfaces, particular emphasis capillary waves, dewetting, patterning, diffusion adhesion.
