The properties of polymer interfaces and thin films play important roles in many applications ranging from packaging, adhesives, coatings, biomaterials, sensors, to microelectronics. The polymer interfacial and thin film properties are mediated by their molecular structures. It is thus significant to develop experimental and simulation methods to study molecular structures of polymer interfaces and polymer thin films. To satisfy increased demands of new applications, new polymer materials have been continuously developed with desired interfacial structures or thin film properties. This symposium will focus on the recent progress in the materials development, molecular level characterization, and modeling of polymer interfaces and polymer thin films.
