CBE PhD Dissertation Defense | Understanding the Dynamic and Mechanical Properties of Polymer under Nanoconfiements
Abstract: The dynamic properties of glassy polymers are well-known to change up confinement to the nanoscale. Confinement to free-standing thin films leads to an enhancement in the segmental dynamics, and changes in the chain conformation lead to changes in the entanglement density in confined polymers. In this study, we investigate the role of both segmental […]
