Lap shear and friction force measurements were carried out on a series of monodisperse polystyrene (PS) films below the corresponding glass-transition temperatures. It showed that adhesion between the PS/PS interface was possible at the temperature below the bulk T g , and the lower the molecular we

Abstract
Summary: A unified model is developed for the finite sizeโeffect on the glassโtransition temperature of polymers, T~g~(D), where D denotes the diameter of particles or thickness of films. In terms of this model, T~g~ depends on both the size and interface conditions. The predicted results are consistent with the experimental evidence for polystyrene (PS) particles and films with different interface situations.

The glass transition can be measured at different experimental conditions. Using spectroscopic methods at relative high frequency the a-relaxation is measured in the thermodynamic equilibrium. In the caloric case we call this phenomenon thermal relaxation transition (TRT). With a conventional differ
