frommer (ibm Research Division) And Overney (chemical Engineering, U. Of Washington) Present 19 Papers That Evolved From The Proceedings Of A Symposium That Had The Goal Of Bringing Together An Interdisciplinary Group Of Researchers (from The Fields Of Chemistry, Physics, Biology, Materials, And Surface Sciences) To Address Material Properties That Arise At Interfaces. The Material Addresses The Topics Of Interfacial Properties From The Angles Of Microscopic And Spectroscopic Techniques, Liquid And Solid States, Surfaces And Thin Films, And Empirical And Computational Convergence. Articles Describe Nanomechanical Properties And Structure Of Thin Films In Contrast To Their Bulk Counterparts, From Both Experimental And Theoretical Perspectives. Annotation C.

Chapter topics include nanomechanicals properties and structures of thin films in contrast to their bulk counterparts, from both experimental and theoretical perspectives;viscoelasticity, microroughness, and friction, particularly in polymers; advances in instrumentation such as scanning probes, x-ray scattering, sum frequency generation spectroscopy and nanorheometers; the origin of film properties via tailored molecular modification of film components; moleculardynamics simulations and modeling of interfaces This work deals with the increasingly "diminishing" interfaces that are resulting as device dimensions scale down. Topics include nanomechanical properties and stuctures of thin films in contrast to their bulk counterparts, viscoelasticity, micro-roughness, and friction, particularly in polymers.
