Robust, fluorescent, and nanoscale freestanding conjugated films{
The fabrication of purely polymeric free-standing structures of nanoscale thickness is technically challenging because of the poor mechanical stability of conventional polymers. Conjugated polymers (CP) composed of rod-like chains with much stronger mechanical properties are exploited here for layer-by-layer assembly. We successfully fabricated ultrathin freestanding layer-by-layer conjugated f...
متن کاملChain entanglement in thin freestanding polymer films.
When a thin glassy film is strained uniaxially, a shear deformation zone (SDZ) can be observed. The ratio of the thickness of the SDZ to that of the undeformed film is related to the maximum extension ratio, lambda, which depends on the entanglement molecular weight, M(e). We have measured lambda as a function of film thickness in strained freestanding films of polystyrene as a probe of M(e) in...
متن کاملThe mechanical properties of freestanding electroplated Cu thin films
The plane-strain bulge test is used to investigate the mechanical behavior of freestanding electroplated Cu thin films as a function of film thickness and microstructure. The stiffness of the films increases slightly with decreasing film thickness because of changes in the crystallographic texture and the elastic anisotropy of Cu. Experimental stiffness values agree well with values derived fro...
متن کاملViscoelastic Dewetting of Constrained Polymer Thin Films
Thin films of fluids are playing a leading role in countless natural and industrial processes. Here we study the stability and dewetting dynamics of viscoelastic polymer thin films. The dewetting of polystyrene close to the glass transition reveals unexpected features: asymmetric rims collecting the dewetted liquid and logarithmic growth laws that we explain by considering the nonlinear velocit...
متن کاملDirect measurement of molecular motion in freestanding polystyrene thin films.
An optical photobleaching technique has been used to measure the reorientation of dilute probes in freestanding polystyrene films as thin as 14 nm. Temperature-ramping and isothermal anisotropy measurements reveal the existence of two subsets of probe molecules with different dynamics. While the slow subset shows bulk-like dynamics, the more mobile subset reorients within a few hundred seconds ...
