Influence of the polymer topology on the formation of an interphase under confinement
We propose to study the dynamics of cyclic polymer chains (rings) confined in nanopores of anodic aluminium oxide (AAO). Based on our recent investigations of the dynamics of linear polymer melts confined in AAO nanopores revealing the formation of an interphase between the anchored chains and the bulk, we intend to elucidate the mechanism of interphase formation in confined systems. Polymer rings are ideal candidates for this key experiment.
