Abstract
Composites where polymer surface layer serves as a matrix for metal nanoparticles stabilization are very promising materials for modern nano- and optoelectronics, nonlinear optics, catalysis, chemical and biosensors. Such nanocomposites successful development is impossible without intimate knowledge of polymer surface layer properties (structural, mechanical, chemical, electrical etc.) at a nanolevel. In this study local mechanical properties (elastic modulus, wearing qualities) of polystyrene surface layer were investigated by means of atomic force microscopy (AFM). Elastic modulus was determined from the analysis of force—distance curves within the framework of Johnson-Kendall-Roberts model. The significant elastic modulus decrease near the polystyrene surface relative to its bulk value was observed. Strong dependence of the surface layer mechanical properties on the polymer molecular weight was found out. The influence of different types of treatment (annealing, UV-irradiation) on the polystyrene surface layer mechanical properties was investigated. Strong correlations between PS surface layer mechanical properties and its glass transition temperature variations (studied in our previous works) are discussed.
