ABSTRACT
Chapter 5 considers mechanically controlled phase transition, layer transition, order-disorder rebuilding, and swelling of layers or mixtures containing organic molecules (monomers or polymers). When surfaces are modified, they change adhesive, lubricating, viscous, and wetting properties as well as chemical affinity and biocompatibility. This modification allows for expanding the area of material applications toward microelectronics, smart surfaces, information storage, and medical devices.
