Autophobic behavior

We are interested in the following questions How does a polymer move or flow on its own monolayer, or more generally, how do macromolecules slide past each other What are the consequences of the autophobic behavior between grafted and free polymers for dewetting What is the value of the friction coefficient at such polymer-polymer interfaces After a brief description of our experimental conditions, we present the experimental results, which are discussed in light of the theory described above. Finally, we show what we can learn about molecular parameters controlling interfacial properties. 

The observation of liquid drops on top of a film of the same substance is often referred to as pseudo-partial [ 1 ] or autophobic wetting. This behavior is not surprising in this...
