摘要
Glass transitions were observed in thin films of poly(2-vinyl pyridine) (P2VP) and poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) using a scanning nanocalorimetry technique which has both high sensitivity (10(-9) J/K) and high scan rates (10(4)-10(5) K/s). Samples were deposited by the spin-cast method. The thickness of samples was 100-400 nm. Glass transition temperature, obtained by nanocalorimetry, is shifted toward higher temperatures by 10-20 K and activation enthalpy of glass transition is shifted to lower values by factor of 2-4. The glass transition characteristics of both polymers are discussed in terms of the standard Tool-Narayanaswamy-Moynihan (TNM) multi-parameter model. (C) 2003 Elsevier Science Ltd.
