Abstract
Selective deuteration combined with X-ray and neutron reflectivity has been used to determine the extent of probe segregation to an interface in ultra-thin polymer films as a function of number of thermal cycles. Additional determination of the extent of probe segregation to an interface was shown with SIMS. Significant probe segregation was not evident in these studies. X-Ray reflectivity has also been employed to measure the coefficient of thermal expansion of ultra-thin polystyrene films supported on quartz. The glass transition temperature determined with this method is equivalent to that measured for bulk polystyrene films.Citation
