Single-Molecule Studies of Heterogeneous Dynamics in Polymer Melts Near the Glass Transition

Deschenes, Laura A., Vanden Bout, David A.·2001·Science

Abstract

Single-molecule spectroscopy was used to follow the orientation of a single probe molecule in a polymer film in real time. Broad spatially heterogeneous dynamics were observed on long time scales, which result from simple diffusive rotational motions on short time scales. This diffusive behavior persists for many rotations before the molecule's local environment changes to one characterized by a new time scale. This environmental exchange occurs instantaneously on the time scale of the experiment and may arise from large-scale collective motions. The distribution of exchange times for these environments was measured for several temperatures near the glass transition.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
