摘要
On the basis of the nanoscale fluctuations of the excess number density of holes (free volumes), a theoretical model is developed to describe the glass transition temperature (T.) of polymeric films With the thickness <100 nm. A Langevin equation is used in the derivation that helps us to understand the dependence of T-g not only on film thickness but. also on molecular weight. Substrates have a strong influence on Tg and the diffusion coefficient of nanofilms, and the surface concentration of ad sorbed chain ends depends on the strength of polymer-substrate interactions.
