Theory of Spatial Gradients of Relaxation, Vitrification Temperature and Fragility of Glass-Forming Polymer Liquids Near Solid Substrates

We employ a new force-level statistical mechanical theory to predict spatial gradients of the structural relaxation time and Tg of polymer liquids near microscopically rough and smooth hard surfaces and contrast the results with vapor interface systems. Repulsive rough (smooth) surfaces induce large...
