Interfacial Adsorption Competing with Thermal Mixing in Confined Hydrogen-Bonded Polymer Bilayers

HTHisashi TetsutaniMOMasashi OhnoYNY. Nakanishi

Key Points

  • The research aims to understand how interfacial chain adsorption competes with thermal interdiffusion in confined polymer films.
  • Investigated ultrathin hydrogen-bonded PMMA/PVPh bilayers
  • Conducted experiments focusing on interfacial properties and mixing behavior
  • Analyzed differences between confined films and bulk systems
  • Interfacial adsorption significantly influences mixing behavior
  • Distinct mixing characteristics were observed compared to bulk polymer systems
  • Thermally driven interdiffusion was affected by the confinement of the bilayers

Abstract

In confined polymer thin films, interfacial chain adsorption can fundamentally compete with thermally driven interdiffusion, leading to mixing behavior distinct from bulk systems. Here, we investigated ultrathin hydrogen-bonded PMMA/PVPh bilayers...
