Molecular motions of confined ultra-thin polystyrene films studied by REDLS — Fan-Yen Lin, Tassilo Kaule, Rüdiger Berger, Hans-Jürgen Butt, and •Werner Steffen — Max Planck Institute for Polymer Research, P.O. Box 3148, 55128 Mainz, Germany

Resonance Enhancement Dynamic Light Scattering, REDLS*, is used to probe the surface and interface dynamics of (immiscible) polymers in double-layers. A low Tg (53°C) Polystyrene (PS) is supported by a gold layer and covered by a solid, transparent, high Tg (> 200°C) Polynorbornene (PN) layer polymerized onto the PS layer directly. We observe two Arrhenius-like processes above and below the bulk Tg. The degree of confinement is influenced partly by the thickness of the capping layer. The surface dynamics going from a free PS surface to confined is strongly changed.
