Abstract
There is significant variation in the reported magnitude and even the sign of [Formula: see text] shifts in thin polymer films with nominally the same chemistry, film thickness, and supporting substrate. The implicit assumption is that methods used to estimate [Formula: see text] in bulk materials are relevant for inferring dynamic changes in thin films. To test the validity of this assumption, we perform molecular simulations of a...
