Multifractal analysis of nanodeformation of glassy polymer surface

Colloid Journal Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Abstract

The multifractal approach has been employed to quantitatively analyze an intact glassy polymer (polystyrene) surface and that deformed in an atomic force microscope. An algorithm has been described in detail for constructing generalized fractal dimension spectra. These spectra have been shown to provide information that reasonably reflects the properties of the studied reliefs of a polystyrene surface.
