Surface Phenomena in the Structural and Mechanical Behaviour of Solid Polymers
Development of the interfacial surface in deformation of polymers. Healing of the interfacial surface in polymer systems. Special features of the structure and properties of surface layers and thin (nanometric) films of glassy polymers. Role of surface phenomena in shear yielding of glassy polymers. Role of surface phenomena in strain softening of glassy and crystalline polymers. Role of surface phenomena in deformation of polymers in active liquid media. The structure and properties of crazed polymers. Multiphase nanodispersed systems based on crazed polymers. Instability and self-organisation of polymer surfaces. Evaluation of the structural and mechanical properties of nanometric surface layers. Natural systems constructed on the basis of the ‘a rigid coating on a soft substratum’ principle. Perspectives for the practical application of surface phenomena in solid polymers.
