Mobility in polymer thin films : diffusion and Marangoni driven patterning

Polymer thin films are ubiquitous in a variety of everyday applications from cookware to packaging. Light can be used to both probe and manipulate the mobility of polymers in thin films. The first project involves the self-diffusion of poly(isobutyl methacrylate) (PiBMA) in thin films using fluoresc...
