Abstract
The mobility of polymer inside organically modifieed 2nm slits depends strongly on the intercalation between the polymer and the surface inside the galleries. This interaction can be engineered by either varying surface modification or the polymer. The motion of polymer can be enhanced by reducing the polymer-surface friction coefficient or the surface exposed to the polymer.
