Abstract
With development of new experimental methods and powerful computers, huge attention is given to the physicochemical properties of polymers on the nanoscale and under strong confinement, as in thin films. With decreasing sizes of polymer films, it proves important to explore the influence of the confinement on the polymer glass-transition temperature Tg. In the literature it is shown that the presence of a supporting surface and a free interface...
