Abstract
null null The glass-transition temperature ( T null g ) of polymer thin films can be strongly influenced by the combined effects of the supporting solid substrate and the free surface. The relative importance of these two effects, which often compete with each other, depends on the strength of the substrate–film interactions. Utilizing an atomistically informed coarse-grained model for poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA), here we uncover the...
