Glass Transition Behavior of Polymer Films of Nanoscopic Dimensions
arXiv:cond-mat/0408523 · doi:10.1021/ma048819a
Abstract
Glass transition behavior of nanoscopically thin polymer films is investigated by means of molecular dynamics simulations. A thin polymer film that is composed of bead-spring model chains and supported on an idealized, fcc lattice substrate surface is studied in this work.
