摘要
Crystallization of poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) in thin films was studied using hot-stage polarized optical microscopy. Isothermal linear crystal growth rates were measured for various film thicknesses at various degrees of undercooling. At a given crystallization temperature, the linear crystal growth rate decreased exponentially with decreasing film thickness below a film thickness of 80 nm. Films showed similar spherulitic morphology down to a film thickness of 30 nm. Control experiments on hydrophilic and hydrophobic surfaces showed that surface chemistry affects stability of the polymer films and causes a competition between crystallization and dewetting.
