摘要
A new probe made of noble metal nanoclusters embedded into polymers was used in studying the dynamic properties of polymer surface near the glass transition. The evaporated noble metals initially form discontinuous layers on polymer substrates consisting of spherical clusters, whose density and size depends on the deposition parameters as well as on the particular metal-polymer combination. The clusters are embedded into the polymer bulk upon heating the polymer above its glass transition temperature, where the polymer chains attain long-range mobility. There is a driving force for embedding the metal clusters since the surface tension γM of the metal particles exceeds the sum of the interfacial tension γMP and the polymer surface tension γP: γM>γMP+γP.
