TL;DR: This study explores the behavior of CSMG nanoparticles comprising a poly(methyl methacrylate) shell in molten PMMA thin films and finds that the autophobicity between the densely packed, short PMMA arms of the CSMG shell and the long PMMA chains in the matrix, the nanoparticles migrate to the film surface.

MeSH headings : Microscopy, Atomic Force; Polymethyl Methacrylate / chemistry; Polystyrenes / chemistry
TL;DR: Incorporation of a block copolymer into a thin polymer film is observed to alter both the rate and mechanism by which the film dewets from an immiscible polymer substrate. (via Semantic Scholar)

Dewetting behavior of a block copolymer/homopolymer thin film on an immiscible homopolymer substrate

LANGMUIR, 20(20), 8659–8667.

By: B. Wei n, J. Genzer n & R. Spontak n

TL;DR: Transmission electron microscopy reveals the morphological characteristics of dewetted PS/SM films as functions of film thickness and SM concentration, as evidenced by measurably different dewetting rates. (via Semantic Scholar)
