Abstract

We employed variable temperature chemical force microscopy (VT-CFM) using tips silanized with four different hydro- and hydrofluoroalkyl self-assembling monolayers (SAMs) interacting with a thin-film of poly(cyclic olefin), (PCO) to model the hot-embossing stamp-polymer interaction over a temperature range spanning the glass transition of the PCO.
