The influence of surfaces on structure formation: I. Artificial epitaxy of metals on polymers. II. Phase separation of block copolymers and polymer blends under nonplanar surface constraints

In order to understand the fundamental cause of preferential lattice orientations when certain metals are vapor deposited onto oriented semicrystalline polymers, Sn deposited onto various polyolefins was investigated as a function of polymer crystallinity, crystallography, morphology and Sn depositi...
