Relaxation times of nanoscale deformations on the surface of a polymer thin film near and below the glass transition

Journal Article Papaleo, R M ; Leal, R ; Carreira, W H ; ... - Physical Review. B, Condensed Matter and Materials Physics

We report on measurements of relaxation times of nanometer-sized deformations resulting from the impact of individual energetic ions on poly(methyl methacrylate) surfaces at temperatures close to and below the glass transition T{sub g}. The temporal evolution of the dimensions of the deformations is well described by a stretched exponential function, but with relaxation times {tau}(T) many orders of magnitude smaller than bulk values at the same T. The local T{sub g} was around 86 deg. C, roughly 30 deg. C below the conventional bulk T{sub g}. At the vicinity of the local T{sub g}, {tau}(T) follows the Vogel-Fulcher type ofmore »« less

Evidence for Viscoelastic Effects in Surface Capillary Waves of Molten Polymer Films

Journal Article Zhang, Jiang ; Kim, Hyunjung ; Lee, H ; ... - Physical Review Letters

The surface dynamics of supported ultrathin polystyrene films with thickness comparable to the radius of gyration were investigated by surface sensitive x-ray photon correlation spectroscopy. We show for the first time that the conventional model of capillary waves on a viscous liquid has to be modified to include the effects of a shear modulus in order to explain both static and dynamic scattering data from ultrathin molten polymer films.

Evidence for Capillary Waves on Dewetted Polymer Film Surfaces: A Combined X-ray and Atomic Force Microscopy Study

Journal Article Tolan, M ; Seeck, O H ; Schlomka, J ; ... - Physical Review Letters

Surfaces of thin dewetted polyethylene-propylene films were investigated by atomic force microscopy (AFM) and x-ray scattering. The AFM images show the mesoscopic island structure but do not give information about the microscopic roughness of the polymer surface. Together with the AFM data we were able to identify capillary waves on the island surfaces by their specific power laws in the diffuse x-ray scattering signal. The wave number spectrum of these waves is modified by a cutoff introduced by the vanthinspthinspderthinspthinspWaals substrate-film interactions. {copyright} {ital 1998} {ital The American Physical Society }

Capillary Wave Dynamics of Thin Polymer Films over Submerged Nanostructures

Journal Article Alvine, Kyle J ; Dai, Yeling ; Ro, Hyun W ; ... - Physical Review Letters, 109(20):Article No. 207801

The surface dynamics of thin molten polystyrene films supported by nanoscale periodic silicon line-space gratings were investigated with x-ray photon correlation spectroscopy. Surface dynamics over these nanostructures exhibit high directional anisotropy above certain length scales, as compared to surface dynamics over flat substrates. A cutoff length scale in the dynamics perpendicular to the grooves is observed. This marks a transition from standard over-damped capillary wave behavior to suppressed dynamics due to substrate interactions.
