Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The relation between the change in the dynamics and that in the interfacial structure has been investigated for stacked thin polymer films by using dielectric relaxation spectroscopy and neutron reflectivity measurements. For stacked PMMA thin films, the dielectric relaxation strength of the alpha-process is decreased and the peak temperature of the dielectric loss spectra is increased with increasing annealing time. The increase in roughness at the interface between d-PMMA layer and h-PMMA layer has been observed from the neutron reflectivity measurements on alternately stacked thin films of d-PMMA and h-PMMA. Furthermore, this time evolution of the interfacial structure at the interface occurs on a time scale similar to that of the time evolution of some parameters of the alpha-process obtained by dielectric relaxation spectroscopy. Therefore, the change in the interfacial structure could be a physical origin for the change in the dynamics of the alpha-process in thin polymer films.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
表面・界面相互作用によって、高分子薄膜のガラス転移温度が如何に変化するのかを明らかにし、その制御を可能とすることができれば、高分子材料の産業界での応用にとって大変重要な進展である。本研究では、中性子反射率・誘電緩和測定を用いて、その目的を達成する一つの可能性が示されており、十分な学術的かつ社会的意義を有すると言える。
