About this document
Molecular Architecture in Polymer Films by AYŞE ÇAĞLAYAN is a document available to read on EtoBox.
This thesis investigates the effects of molecular architecture on the structure and dynamics of supported ultrathin polymer films, focusing on polyethylene oxide (PEO) and polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA). Using molecular dynamics simulations, the study finds that while the glass transition temperature (Tg) is only weakly affected by film thickness, the structure is significantly influenced by the presence of side groups in PMMA. The research aims to enhance understanding of confinement effects and dynamic pr
