“…The PS-OH in our samples is likely to be highly entangled since the M W we have used is 100 kg/ mol, well above the molecular weight of entanglement of PS, M e Ϸ17.7 kg/mol. 48,49 For PHS, however, our data indicate that chain entanglement is unlikely to be an important factor in determining the thickness dependence of T g because: ͑1͒ the thickness of the grafted layer after a Soxhlet extraction in THF is within 10% of the thickness after the PGMEA wash, indicating that there is little entangled but ungrafted polymer in the residual layer, and ͑2͒ the molecular weights of the two samples of PHS we have studied are 10 kg/mol and 20 kg/mol, below the M e of PHS. 50,51 In terms of our previous work demonstrating the effect of interfacial energy on the T g of supported films, chains grafted to the substrate could be viewed as constituting a very high-energy interface.…”
