This book describes the dynamics of low molecular weight and
polymeric molecules when they are constrained under conditions of
geometrical confinement. It covers geometrical confinement in
different dimensionalities:
(i) in nanometer thin layers or self supporting films
("1-dimensional" confinement)
(ii) in pores or tubes with nanometric diameters
("2-dimensional" confinement)
(iii) as micelles embedded in matrices ("3-dimensional") or as
nanodroplets.The dynamics under such conditions have been a much
discussed and central topic in the focus of intense worldwide
research activities within the last two decades. The present book
discusses how the resulting molecular mobility is influenced by the
subtle counterbalance between surface effects (typically slowing
down molecular dynamics through attractive guest/host interactions)
and confinement effects (typically increasing the mobility). It
also explains how these influences can be modified and tuned, e.g.
through appropriate surface coatings, film thicknesses or pore
diameters. ""Dynamics in Confinement"" sums up the present
state-of-the-art and introduces to the analytical methods of choice
for the study of dynamics in nanometer-scale confinement.
