We present a method to measure the viscosity of polymer thin films. The material is spin coated onto a silicon substrate and specially designed nanopatterns are imprinted on the film using thermal nanoimprint. A brief reflow is performed during which patterns flow under surface tension. Spectral densities of the topology before and after annealing are compared and the rheologic properties, such as viscosity, are extracted as fitting parameters of an evolution model. Contrary to previous similar approaches, emphasis was put on the spatial description rather than the temporal decay of the patterns. We used this method to measure the viscosity of polystyrene for two molecular weights at various temperatures and successfully recovered results of previous authors.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
