Thin polymer films are of vital importance due to their low production costs and wide range of applications in sensors, electronics, and coatings. Their geometry is ideal for the study of confinement effects, specifically one-dimensional confinement, on the thermodynamic properties and segmental dynamics of polymers. For this investigation, films of PC are prepared on both glass and silica substrates to measure the dielectric and calorimetric behavior as a function of film thickness. The methodology consists of broadband dielectric spectroscopy (BDS), ellipsometry, and atomic force microscopy (AFM). Using ellipsometry, the glass transition shows an increase with decreasing film thickness. Compared to a previous investigation of PC where dilatometry was used, an increase in PC was seen, but now only at thicknesses below 20 nm. Therefore, the critical thickness of PC, where the bulk-like layer no longer percolates through the film, is dependent on the method probing the glass transition. The dielectric behavior shows a deviation from bulk behavior with decreasing film thickness, although still showing a Vogel-Fulcher-Tammann (VFT) temperature dependence for all films. The influence of the adsorbed layer on the molecular mobility was also addressed.
The crack propagation rate of environmental stress cracking was studied on high-density polyethylene compact tension specimens under static loading. Selected environmental liquids are distilled water, 2 wt% aqueous Arkopal N100 solution, and two model liquid mixtures, one based on solvents and one on detergents, representing stress cracking test liquids for commercial crop protection products. The different surface tensions and solubilities, which affect the energetic facilitation of void nucleation and craze development, are studied. Crack growth in surface-active media is strongly accelerated as the solvents induce plasticization, followed by strong blunting significantly retarding both crack initiation and crack propagation. The crack propagation rate for static load as a function of the stress intensity factor within all environments is found to follow the Paris–Erdogan law. Scanning electron micrographs of the fracture surface highlight more pronounced structures with both extensive degrees of plasticization and reduced crack propagation rate, addressing the distinct creep behavior of fibrils. Additionally, the limitations of linear elastic fracture mechanisms for visco-elastic polymers exposed to environmental liquids are discussed.
