The study of mechanisms of structure formation and destruction (thermal and mechanical) of thin polymer  films (homopolymers, copolymers, cross-linked systems, blends, polymer/fullerene compositions)  with an emphasis on the structure/mechanical (particularly tribological) relationships. The characterization methods used in the study involve temperature programmed mass-spectrometry (TPMS), ESCA, TPMS/ESCA combination in a single experimental set with self-made vacuum mechanical manipulators and a number of complementary methods: AFM, SEM, WAXD, PL.
