Origins of nanostructure in amorphous polymer coatings via matrix assisted pulsed laser evaporation

Kimberly B. Shepard, Craig B. Arnold, and Rodney D. Priestley

We investigate the nanostructure of sub-monolayer and monolayer amorphous polymer films deposited via Matrix Assisted Pulsed Laser Evaporation (MAPLE). The structure is quantified by analyzing the size distribution of polymer nanoglobules as a function of deposition parameters: time and polymer co ... [Appl. Phys.
